The speed (54, 56) of the free turbine (40) of a helicopter engine (20) is compared (103) with the speed (105, 106) of the helicopter rotor (10) to indicate (101, 102) autorotation, and the deceleration (108) of the rotor above a threshold magnitude (110) is utilized (81, 68, 69) to increase fuel flow (72) to the engine in anticipation of rotor speed droop which would otherwise occur during recovery from the autorotation maneuver. |
