That statement needs expounding upon I do believe.....because if they are not connected to the MGB....what turns the Rotor Blades in powered flight?
Turbine engines in helicopters are gas generators. The expanding gases turn a free power turbine which is not connected to the engine. So if the MGB seizes it will not stall the engine.
will that suffice?
