„weich“ werden Comment Explanation: I'm not sure exactly how to phrase it in your case, but I think it may have something to do with "soft-starting" or "soft-start" mode/option/feature/function, etc. See this link about very old helicopters: Thoughts re Soft-Start: The function of 'soft-starting' is only used once during a flight. It is used at the beginning of the flight, when the craft is on the ground and it is used at reduced torque. Once the rotors are rotating they will never be revolving at a RPM less than that of the engine(s) / [reduction ratio]. http://www.synchrolite.com/B251.html Hope this helps. Try googling helicopter + "soft start" - there are lots of hits and you may find something to help you. |
