early helicopters—is called transverse rotors, where a pair of rotors are mounted at each end of a wing-type structure or outrigger. Tandem-rotor helicopters

intermeshing-rotor helicopter (or synchropter) is a helicopter with a set of two main rotors turning in opposite directions, with each rotor mast mounted

model helicopters had used them. Coaxial rotors are two counter-rotating rotors mounted one above the other with the same axis. Intermeshing rotors are

tandem rotor system are a complex transmission and the need for two large rotors. The two rotors are linked by a transmission that ensures the rotors are

solve the problem of main rotor torque by turning each set of rotors in opposite directions. The opposite torques from the rotors cancel each other out.

or more rotors". Rotorcraft generally include aircraft where one or more rotors provide lift throughout the entire flight, such as helicopters, gyroplanes

gains speed, the rotors are progressively tilted forward, with the plane of rotation eventually becoming vertical. In this mode the rotors provide thrust

cruise at high speeds. Intended to take off vertically like a helicopter, the craft's rigid rotors could be stopped in mid-flight to act as X-shaped wings to

spinning in the opposite direction of the main rotor when flying. Tail rotors are simpler than main rotors since they require only collective changes in
