222: 45:, resulting in a slight cone shape to the rotor disc. This is balanced by centrifugal force. If rotor RPM drops too low, the rotor blades fold up with no chance of recovery. 52:(twist) so that lift is relatively uniform along the blades. However, because lift increases quadratically with airspeed, coning still occurs at higher RPMs. 96: 148: 193: 259: 132: 278: 75: 42: 283: 252: 233: 59:
