2. Rotor wing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotor_wing

   All three classes have been studied for use as lifting rotors and several variations have been flown on full-size aircraft, although only the vertical-axis rotary wing has become widespread on rotorcraft such as the helicopter. Some types provide lift at zero forward airspeed, allowing for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), as in the helicopter.

5. Rotorcraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotorcraft

   Some rotary wing aircraft are designed to stop the rotor for forward flight so that it then acts as a fixed wing. For vertical flight and hovering it spins to act as a rotary wing or rotor, and for forward flight at speed it stops to act as a fixed wing providing some or all of the lift required. Additional fixed wings may also be provided to ...

6. Helicopter rotor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_rotor

   On a helicopter, the main rotor or rotor system is the combination of several rotary wings (rotor blades) with a control system, that generates the aerodynamic lift force that supports the weight of the helicopter, and the thrust that counteracts aerodynamic drag in forward flight.
