Per "autorotazione" vedi qui:


Helicopters are powered aircraft, but to a limited extent they can glide without power by using the momentum in the rotors, while using downward motion to force air through them. The main rotor acts like a windmill and turns.

This technique is known as ***autorotation***.

A transmission connects the main rotor to the tail rotor so that all flight controls are available after engine failure. Autorotation can allow a pilot to make an emergency landing if the engine failure occurs while the helicopter is traveling high enough or fast enough. (see Height-velocity diagram).
