2. Rotor wing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotor_wing

   Magnus rotor: a rotor which creates lift via the Magnus effect. Flettner rotor: a smooth cylindrical Magnus rotor with disc end plates. Thom rotor: a smooth spinning cylinder with multiple discs along the span. Cycloidal rotor or cyclorotor: a set of horizontal lifting aerofoils rotating around the rim of a supporting horizontal-axis rotor ...

3. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

   Turboprop, turboshaft and turbofan engines have additional turbine stages to drive a propeller, bypass fan or helicopter rotor. In a free turbine the turbine driving the compressor rotates independently of that which powers the propeller or helicopter rotor. Cooling air, bled from the compressor, may be used to cool the turbine blades, vanes ...

4. Engine configuration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_configuration

   1919 Napier Lion II aircraft engine with three cylinder banks. Any design of motor/engine,be it a V or a boxer can be called an "in-line" if it's mounted in-line with the frame/chassis and in-line with the direction of travel of the vehicle.When the motor/engine is across the frame/chassis this is called a TRANSVERSE motor.Cylinder arrangement is not in the description of how the motor/engine ...

5. Tail rotor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_rotor

   The tail rotor system rotates airfoils, small wings called blades, that vary in pitch in order to vary the amount of thrust they produce.The blades most often utilize a composite material construction, such as a core made of aluminum honeycomb or plasticized paper honeycomb, covered in a skin made of aluminum or carbon fiber composite.

6. Wing configuration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_configuration

   A fixed-wing aircraft may have more than one wing plane, stacked one above another: Biplane: two wing planes of similar size, stacked one above the other. The biplane is inherently lighter and stronger than a monoplane and was the most common configuration until the 1930s. The very first Wright Flyer I was a biplane.

7. Blisk - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blisk

   A blisk (portmanteau of bladed disk) is a turbomachine component comprising both rotor disk and blades as a single part instead of a disk assembled with individual removable blades. Blisks generally have better aerodynamics than conventional rotors with single blades and are lighter.
