Question
Two small liquid-propellant rocket motors are mounted at the tips of a helicopter rotor to augment power under emergency conditions. The diameter of the helicopter rotor is , and it rotates at . The air enters at the tip speed of the rotor, and exhaust gases exit at with respect to the rocket motor. The intake area of each motor is , and the air density is . Estimate the power provided by the rocket motors. Ignore the mass rate of flow of fuel in this calculation.
