Those aerodynamic forces do still "precess a gyro" though, right?
There's still a lot of angular momentum to redirect.
I think we are almost there.....
Do you precess a gyro, or does a gyro precess?
Angular momentum is a red herring.
Sounds like we are going to embed ourselves in the "centrifugal is a real force because the FAA ground school says so" argument, also a Lu Z favourite cherished from the past.....
Gyros require rigidity....that is the underlying difference. When you apply a force to any part of the gyro to tilt it, you are applying it to the entire rigid shape, but you are not doing this to the (conventional) rotor system we are considering......
The blades...as individuals.... fly differently when their own pitch is changed. They do not react as a solid system, rather each blade flies it's own path, it is just for ease of understanding that we can think of it as a "disc" and thus we entertain simple explanations like gyroscopic precession. But it is not a "disc" it is a set of fast moving individually free blades following a very similar path that looks like a solid disc to an observer.
