Do you wait a day or 0.14 sec for an answer??????

GOOGLE is your friend.....!

By controlling the size of the driving region, the pilot can adjust autorotative rpm. For example, if the collective pitch is raised, the pitch angle increases in all regions. This causes the point of equilibrium to move inboard along the blade’s span, thus increasing the size of the driven region. The stall region also becomes larger while the driving region becomes smaller. Reducing the size of the driving region causes the acceleration force of the driving region and rpm to decrease.

and that took 0.14 seconds
