They placed explosives near the avionics system, the communications gear, the engine, and the rotor head.
For safety reasons, open-rotor engines might have to be mounted at the back, for example.
More important, they found that a shock wave developed on the blades of the rotor.
During take-off, the four 15-metre rotor-blades will be folded flat against the craft's body.

No system yet invented promises to perform that mission more efficiently and cost-effectively than the revolutionary tilt-rotor Osprey.
Friend vibrates a lead zirconate titanate crystal, and those vibrations twist a spring-like element attached to a rotor.
That is partly because of increasing vibration, but mainly because the spinning rotor blades provide both lift and propulsion.
Gamera II builds on its predecessor (unsurprisingly, Gamera I) by featuring improved transmission, rotor design and a redesigned cockpit.

It then lets go of the rotor and retreats before extending again.
There is another way to build a greener jet engine: by bypassing the turbine to an even greater extent, with an open rotor.
The rotors turn in opposite directions to cancel out torque, the twisting action which requires conventional helicopters to use a tail rotor a hazardous appendage.
Then, at the last moment, rocket nozzles on the rotor tips will be powered up, providing enough lift to ensure a gentle, controlled landing.
It's a catheter with a rotor blade at its tip that chops away at the gunk on the artery walls and then sucks it up.

The WINFLEX rotor is an inflated, cylindrical wheel tied to a central hub by spoke-like blades linked to a hub in the center of the wheel.
The rotor is attached to a flagellum, and, in his experiments, Friend measured enough force there to power the motor through the arteries in the brain.
