Contrarotation

/ˌkɑːntrərəʊˈteɪʃən/ noun

Definition

Rotation in opposite directions simultaneously; a dual rotation system where two objects spin against each other.

Etymology

From Latin 'contra-' (against) plus 'rotation' (turning). An engineering and mechanical term that combines the prefix with the standard rotation vocabulary.

Kelly Says

Helicopter rotors often use contrarotation—spinning the main and tail rotors in opposite directions—to cancel out the torque that would otherwise make the helicopter spin uncontrollably.
