I thought autorotation did more than slightly slow you...it's effective enough to make a safe landing assuming the pilot is skilled enough.

Autorotation is part of getting a helicopter license in the first place. It's like dead stick landings or stall recovery in fixed-wings.

Again, it's part of the basic competency you need to demonstrate to be allowed to fly one in the first place.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Considering Italy didnt unify until 1861, I think Spain had a bit of a head start there

The words you are looking for are "stall speed".

Helos and autorotation are a thing, but you are not going to move forward much at all, you are just going to go into the ground at a slower speed than if you just dropped.

With fixed wing aircraft, you have what's called the glide ratio, which is a number of feet the aircraft can move forward before dropping a foot in altitude (while at it's optimal glide speed). If you can maintain your optimal glide speed, you may be able to do things like fly 45 miles and save the lives of yourself, your crew, and your 69 (nice) passengers ooooor, you could flameout both your engines due to unforseen icing, and dead-stick your way all the way to NOLA from way out over the Atlantic, all at 29 years of age and posessing only one eye.

If you're an Alaskan bush pilot then stall speed is just one of those things you pull out of your bag of tricks on the reg

Odds are your tail rotor quit too, so your forward speed needs to be high enough to prevent you from spinning.

It can be done but it's tricky.

please see your doctor if you poo poo black on a regular basis.
