Which mechanism causes reduced rotor lift in helicopters under rapidly descending flight conditions?

💡 Explanation

The Vortex Ring State (VRS) causes lift reduction where the helicopter descends into its own downwash; because continuous recirculation decreases the effective angle of attack, therefore lift is diminished rather than enhanced by autorotation, or stalled due compressibility.
