Rotor torque is a concern in gyroplanes only during
A
prerotation or clutch engagement.✓ Correct Answer
B
maneuvers requiring high rotor rpm.
C
maximum performance climbs and go-arounds requiring higher engine rpm.
Explanation
A gyroplane's rotor is driven by the airflow (autorotation), not by the engine, so rotor torque is a concern only during prerotation, when the engine drives the rotor through the clutch. In flight there is no engine torque reaction on the rotor, whatever the rpm.
