rotors
Helicopter lifting components
Rotors is the plural of rotor—a rotating component in a machine.
Helicopter rotors are the spinning blades that provide lift.
In a car's braking system, rotors are the metal discs that brake pads clamp against to slow the wheels: The mechanic said I need new rotors.
Electric motors and generators have rotors that spin within stationary housings.
