peer agreement (net): +1rotorcraft Explanation: aeronave de asas rotativas = rotorcraft This is the term used by the FAA (for whatever it's worth) and the Brazilian equivalent ANAC pretty much follows their terminology in English, according to the PDF below. Lindsay's answer is also correct. http://www2.anac.gov.br/biblioteca/rbac/RBAC 29.pdf REQUISITOS DE AERONAVEGABILIDADE: AERONAVES DE ASAS ROTATIVAS CATEGORIA TRANSPORTE. Para concessão de certificados de tipo para aeronaves de asas rotativas categoria transporte, será adotado integralmente, na língua inglesa, o regulamento Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 29, Emenda 29-51, efetiva em 31 de março de 2008, da autoridade de aviação civil, Federal Aviation Administration – FAA, do Department of Transportation dos Estados Unidos da América, o qual é republicado no Apêndice A-I deste RBAC a partir do contido no sítio de publicação do regulamento adotado em pauta: http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov. http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/air_cert/design_approvals/rotorc... |

peer agreement (net): +3rotary wings Explanation: rotary-wing aircraft -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2011-07-19 00:06:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I see your point! Here 'asas rotativas' is translated to 'rotorcraft' a few times: http://www.linguee.pt/portugues-ingles/search?sourceoverride... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2011-07-19 00:16:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think 'rotativa' and 'giratória' are used interchangably in this context. I know this is not quite an 100% method, but if you look up 'rotorcraft' in Wikipedia and click 'español' it says 'aeronave de alas giratorias'. Seems to me to suggest it's all the same thing when you compare it to those lists in Linguee. Reference: http://www.linguee.com/english-portuguese/translation/rotary... |
