Gaseous,
In regards to your last post here:
1)Pushing cyclic forward on an R22 would indeed get you more airspeed but would lower rotor rpm. A gentle aft cyclic would get the aircraft the proper attitude that is most conducive to maintaining rotor RPM. 2)And turns increase rotor rpm.
3)Also, coning angles are LESS of a factor when blades are at lower rotor rpm as far as increasing the rotor rpm is concerned.
Question: How does flaring a helicopter LOWER rotor rpm???
Think about my first point before you answer the question.
Regards,
snoopy
