← TechnologyWhich mechanical consequence results when a helicopter rotor blade's angle of attack excessively increases?
A)Compressible flow drag increases rapidly.
B)Blade stall causes lift reduction.✓
C)Dissymmetry of blade lift reverses.
D)Vortex ring state induces vibrations.
💡 Explanation
Significant increase in angle of attack beyond the critical angle precipitates blade stall and decreased lift because airflow separates from the blade surface; therefore lift is reduced, rather than controlled drag or lift dissymmetry, and happens prior to vortex ring state.
