Rotor Wake Interaction

Rotor Wake Interaction is a dynamic aerodynamic phenomenon in quadrotor flight characterized by the interference between the downwash flow generated by one rotor and the incoming airflow of another rotor, thereby altering local inflow conditions and affecting overall vehicle lift, thrust efficiency, and stability.
