Rotorcraft engineering

a rotor flow state in descent where the rotor's own wake recirculates around the disk, causing thrust fluctuations and loss of control.

In rotorcraft engineering, vortex ring state refers to a rotor flow state in descent where the rotor's own wake recirculates around the disk, causing thrust fluctuations and loss of control. This meaning comes from Meijer Drees (1951) in Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology.[1]
