 description | [0, 1] | Description |
| name | Name | |
| nominalRotationsPerMinute | [0, 1] | Nominal value of the angular rotation speed in rotations per minute (rpm) |
| parentUID | [0, 1] | UID of the part to which the rotor is mounted (if any). The parent of the rotor can e.g. be the fuselage. In each rotorcraft model, there is exactly one part without a parent part (The root of the connection hierarchy). |
| rotorHub | The rotorHub element contains the definition of the rotor hub type and number and azimuth angles of the attached blades and their hinges. The rotor hub position and attitude coincides with the rotor axis system's origin and z axis. | |
| transformation | Transformation (scaling, rotation, translation). This element is used to define the position and attitude of the rotor relative to the global or the parent component's axis system. Note that an anisotropical scaling transformation should not be applied to the rotor. | |
| type | [0, 1] | Rotor type. Possible values: "mainRotor" (default), "tailRotor", "fenestron" or "propeller". |
