Rotors

And where the areas of vulnerability are, first of all, the rotors are the wings, just like the wing of an airplane. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Bridging the gaps between the rotors were the slender rollers, crowded together like cigars in a box, in order that the strip might have a continuous rolling support. ❋ Heinlein, Robert A. (1967)

Aftermarket front brake rotors may be used as long as the rotors are the same size (diameter) as OEM equipment. ❋ Unknown (2008)

"As a leading aerospace industry," it continued, "IAI brings its military background to the table, with knowledge in fields such as rotors, aerodynamics, composite materials, and structures, all of which provide a crucial technological infrastructure for civilian fields such as wind power." ❋ Unknown (2010)

He was told, “Tell Heinonen and Edwards that you threw the two rotors in the sea.” ❋ Catherine Collins (2011)

Parrot SA made waves with enthusiasts of remote-controlled flight a couple of years ago with what it calls a quadricopter—a flying device with four rotors that can be controlled over Wi-Fi by a smartphone or tablet. ❋ Don Clark (2012)

The more advanced design was based on a German machine called the G-4 or M-4, which incorporated four rotors in a single centrifuge. ❋ Catherine Collins (2011)

Paris-based Parrot introduced the AR.Drone 2.0, a so-called quadricopter with four rotors that now includes an HD camera--controllable via iPhone--that gives a pilot's eye view. ❋ Don Clark (2012)

The e-mails reflected a dispute over the price of the rotors. ❋ Catherine Collins (2011)

Well into the description of what had transpired in Bern, Edwards and Yonemura came to the part where they described the e-mails they had seen showing that the CIA had bought the P-2 rotors from Urs Tinner. ❋ Catherine Collins (2011)

But they also had found rotors for the P-2, the more advanced machine. ❋ Catherine Collins (2011)

In the parking lot, a helicopter lay crushed on its side, its rotors torn apart and windows smashed. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Mentioning the upcoming meeting, Urs had asked how he should respond if the issue of rotors arose. ❋ Catherine Collins (2011)

Why had the IAEA wasted so much time and energy trying to find those two critical missing rotors when they were probably sitting in a storage room in Oak Ridge? ❋ Catherine Collins (2011)

After a minute of tilting and bouncing, the chopper finally settled onto the deck and its rotors wound down. ❋ Howard Gordon (2011)

One possibility was that the CIA recognized the significance of the rotors to any attempt to prosecute the Tinners in Switzerland. ❋ Catherine Collins (2011)

The packet of documents, however, contained designs for a centrifuge system with four separate rotors; the work appeared to be based on a German design called the G-4, which had been under development at Urenco in the 1970s. ❋ Catherine Collins (2011)

Two more bodyguards followed, and as soon as they cleared the rotors, the chopper rose into the air again, as though the pilot had had enough of sitting on a tiny platform a hundred feet above the sea. ❋ Howard Gordon (2011)

Once they were no longer necessary, Tahir told Tinner to destroy the rotors and to dispose of the remnants. ❋ Catherine Collins (2011)
