I also wonder why the assumption that an electric tail rotor wouldn't work in autorotation?
a) I'm not familiar with the term ROM%
b) Did anyone assume it wouldn't work in autorotation? I certainly didn't. However, the tail rotor would still absorb a lot of energy even in autorotation so presumably its electrical power generator would need to be driven by the main rotor transmission, or a very large capacity battery would be required if engine driven generators no longer provided electrical power.
