The present invention comprises a novel autorotation safety device consisting of at least one compressed air tank that is configured to release high velocity air, either autonomously or through the actions of a pilot, into a thrust producing flywheel/rotor when the primary drive source for the rotors/fans have failed, creating a secondary drive system for safety. In preferred embodiments, when the primary drive system fails, and the air vehicle starts to descend, the invention will automatically inject high pressure air into the propulsion system's blades to create the thrust necessary to soften an emergency landing.
