Nota Adicional1
When an airfoil produces lift, induced drag is produced. The most efficient angle of attack for a given airfoil produces the most lift for the least drag. However, the airfoil of a rotor blade does not operate at this efficient angle throughout the many changes that occur in each revolution. Also, the rotor system must remain in the autorotative (low) pitch range to continue turning in order to generate lift.
