![The helicopter's engine's
output shaft rotates at
2400rpm and is connected to
reduction gearbox.
The gearbox's input simple gear
have 20 tooth and the output
simple gear have 100 tooth.
The gearbox's output rotation
velocity is the same as the two
helicopter rotor blades.
The average radius of the rotor
blade is 2.5m and the lift of
one rotor blade is (0.413) v².
