power-on : is a situation when the pilot maintains the helicopter in a hover while in contact with the ground or other surface. Usually done when the landing surface needs to be tested before the pilot allows the full weight of the machine and passengers to rest on the surface. The power-on downwash is particularly strong and can be quite cold so wear proper protection. It is also quite loud so wear your headset or other hearing protection. [Environment Canada.

Le qualificatif «power-on» ne veut rien dire en soi sauf que la manœuvre qu'il qualifie est exécutée pendant que le moteur affiche une certaine puissance, sans pour autant préciser l'ampleur de cette puissance. Par contre, pour qu'un hélicoptère puisse demeurer en vol stationnaire («hover»), et effectuer la manœuvre décrite, le moteur doit fournir beaucoup de puissance (c'est-à-dire tourner à grand régime). Nous avons au moins deux types de vols stationnaires : dans l'effet de sol («Hover in Ground Effect») et hors de l'effet de sol («Hover Out of Ground Effect»). Dans le premier cas, l'hélico est à quelques pieds seulement du sol et profite du coussin d'air ainsi produit, et dans le deuxième, à plusieurs pieds du sol. Dans le présent contexte, l'hélicoptère se trouve au sol, dans l'effet de sol, mais sans exercer complètement tout son poids sur le sol. Avant d'arriver au sol toutefois, le pilote s'est mis en vol stationnaire en effet de sol, puis il a abaissé graduellement le collectif (le bras qui fait monter ou descendre l'appareil) tout en gardant la puissance du moteur quasi-identique, et ce, jusqu'au sol et au-delà, jusqu'à ce qu'il soit convaincu que la surface du sol soit suffisamment ferme pour supporter tout le poids de l'hélicoptère. En gardant le régime du moteur élevé ainsi, il peut redécoller dès qu'il perçoit le moindre danger. 1, record 1, French, - prise%20de%20contact%20en%20vol%20stationnaire

Success of vortex theories in the performance analysis of horizontal axis wind turbines depends greatly upon accurate specification of the geometry of the vortex wake... An earlier wake model of helicopter rotors is extended for wind turbine applications, the fast free wake method(FFW). The FFW was accomplished by partitioning the flow field downstream of the rotor into three regions :(1) the near wake, modeled as a series of straight vortex lines;(2) the intermediate wake, modeled as a number of vortex rings; and(3) the far wake, taken to be a semi-infinite cylindrical wake. 3, record 3, English, - fast%20free%20wake%20method
