Vortex Ring Autorotation
A question that has always troubled me.
If you are in fully established vortex ring state, why would entering auto not instantly exit the state?
Once the lever is fully lowered and the green arrow is going in the right direction, surely the vortex must disappear?
I am genuinely interested.
I am also very interested to know whether anyone has any wind tunnel smoke videos of a rotor in normal flight and in auto and vortex ring so I could see the actual effect visually?
I am having trouble visualising how the state could survive auto.
thanks.
