ʻO kahi mokulele rotorcraft (a i ʻole ʻēheu rotary mokulele)

ʻO ka mokulele rotorcraft (a i ʻole nā ​​mokulele ʻēheu rotary) he mokulele ʻoi aku ke kaumaha ma mua o ka lewa e hoʻohana ana i ka hāpai ʻana i hana ʻia e nā ʻēheu, i kapa ʻia nā ʻāpana rotor, e hoʻohuli ana a puni kahi kia. ʻO kekahi mau ʻāpana rotor i kau ʻia i kahi kia hoʻokahi i kapa ʻia he rotor. Hoʻomaopopo ka International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) i kahi rotorcraft i kākoʻo ʻia i ka lele ʻana e ka hopena o ka ea ma luna o hoʻokahi a ʻoi aku paha.

No ka mea, ʻaʻohe mana o ka rotor o ka rotorcraft, ʻaʻohe ona haʻalulu nui a me nā leo i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka ʻōnaehana rotor hoʻokele mana. ʻAʻole kēia haʻalulu a me ka walaʻau e hoʻopōkole a hoʻonui paha i ke ola lawelawe o ka rotor, kino, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka hopena i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka propeller i hoʻoikaika ʻia e ka rotorcraft.

Hiki i ka gyrocopter ke hoʻololi pono i ka fuselage i loaʻa ka paʻa pitch maikaʻi, ka paʻa ʻōwili a me ka paʻa wikiwiki. ʻO ka ʻōpuni propeller disk e like me ka huila inertial nui, a ʻaʻohe hoʻololi manawa o ka rotor. Eia kekahi, ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kihi hoʻokomo rotor ma mua o ka helicopter, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hopena gyroscopic, ke kūpaʻa kiʻekiʻe a me ka ikaika o ka makani.
