Description: A momentum theory was developed for rotors in descending flight. Comparison with available experimental data indicates that the theory, when properly interpreted, yields the optimum performance of the rotor. Power settling can be explained on the basis of the theory. The reasons and the need for operational restrictions on descending flight are discussed. The maximum autorotative performance of a rotor is determined; the theory shows good agreement with flight measurements in autorotation. Similar equations were developed for a wing; it was shown that the ideal performance of an autorotating rotor is identical to that of a wing of equal aspect ratio. A limiting maximum wing lift coefficient which is confirmed by existing experimental data was obtained.
