Sorry Nostone - you used the word 'pressure' -therefore half the audience aren't listening anymore

PS Nostone - a rotor blade in autorotation keeps moving because a section of the blade is not only producing lift but a total reaction that is forward of the rotational axis (ie a driving force without which the blades would slow down and stop).
