The autorotation of a flat plate about its spanwise axis was experimentally studied. Most of the work was done with a wing mounted in a 5 x 7 ft low-speed wind tunnel. The measurements consisted of the unsteady lift, drag, angular acceleration and the wing rotation rate. The flow pattern was very different from that over a static wing. The maximum and average lift, drag and angular acceleration were measured for Reynolds numbers from 25,000 to 250,000. The effect of applying driving and retarding torques to the wing was studied. A variety of wing configurations were tested, together with freely falling wings. For Reynolds numbers above 4000 the average lift and drag coefficients were comparable to those observed in the fixed axis tests, and it appeared that the flow pattern was similar.
