Contexto
Using a “soft start” device can alleviate the problems associated with the high starting torque initially required to get the rotor system turning. This device delivers electrical pulses to the starter for approximately 10 seconds before connecting uninterrupted voltage.
Because of the greater weight of a rotor in relation to the power of the engine, as compared to the weight of a propeller and the power in an airplane, the rotor on a reciprocating powered helicopter, or a helicopter with a single spool turbine engine, must be disconnected from the engine when the starter is engaged.
