Helicopter part (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rotor

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">helicopter part</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('rotor' is part of 'helicopter')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for rotor that I've seen before include "Turning part of a mechanism" , "Mechanical part that revolves, an acronym" , "Revolving arm in machine" , "Revolving blade (as on helicopter)" , "Mechanical turning part" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The Mirror, The Wall Street Journal, the USA Today and the Penny Press.
