Rotor aircraft has a wing, a thrust source and a rotor. Pilot controls tilt of the rotor, and without supplying power to the aircraft, causes rotor to auto-rotate due to the forward movement of the aircraft. Once the aircraft speed is sufficiently high to cause reverse flow of air over the entire retreating blade of the blade, the pilot reduces the collective pitch to less than zero to reduce the flapping as desired.
