@neiltyson Although that's a markedly clear distinction, the inevitable outcome is normally the same...one just gets to it faster. :-)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson helicopter pilots use a technique called "Autorotation" during an engine loss. I made a video about it.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k7u8m0Qpn38 … - 1 more reply

I fly helicopters for a living. You have no idea how a tweet like this from an "authority" like you pisses me off. Be ashamed.

@neiltyson@chucknicecomic Actually, a helicopter whose engine fails is an autogyro, and can use autorotation to make an emergency landing -
@NickSchweitzer@neiltyson@chucknicecomic that's really interesting, learned something new today - 1 more reply

@Janednorris@neiltyson Boomerang just needs some alone time without all these demands. No need for name-calling.

Seriously? Can you possibly be that clueless about helicopter aerodynamics? Look up autorotation. Stop spreading misinformation.

@neiltyson@chucknicecomic not exactly true. Helicopters can auto-rotate, which is a form of gliding. Combat jets become bricks ;-) - 1 more reply

@neiltyson@chucknicecomic I feel smarter today knowing that bricks can land softly using autorotation.#physicsThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Actually, most helos can "autorotate," and "glide" for a surprisingly long time to a very gentle touchdown.

@neiltyson@chucknicecomic Just watched@smartereveryday Autorotation is exchanging lift for kinetic energy of the rotor then back into liftThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
