tiempo de autorotacion/windmilling

Dessault, the French manufacturer of the Mirage also uses "windmilling", surely to the chagrin of the French Academy.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Gerardo Garcia Ramis : I like the conciseness of "autorotación", yet fear it might be confusing since the term also applies to "spin", as in "the plane went into a spin".
