Spanish term or phrase: a mayor angulo
Con todo esto, lo que quiero decir es que una misma sustentacion se puede conseguir variando inversamente cualquiera de sus dos componentes: a mayor angulo, menor velocidad y a menor angulo, mayor velocidad.

Esto traducido a las palas del helicoptero, significa que conseguiremos una misma sustentacion con diferentes angulos, si a cada uno de los angulos, las palas giran a diferentes revoluciones. ?Y para qu頮ecesitamos distintas revoluciones?

the greater the pitch


Explanation:
Es precios aclarar que el término correcto en términos aeronáuticos cuando se habla de palas del helicoptero o palas de un avión es "pitch". Es lo que se llama "paso"

Mira este enlace: http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/H/helicopter.html

The angle at which they slopse is called the pitch, and the greater the pitch, the more air the blades push down, and the greater the upward thrust. Similarly, if the blades rotate more rapidly, they will bite more air in a given time, and the thrust will be larger.

The greater the pitch, you give the blade, the higher the blade
tilts because of its increased lifting power.

How Do RC Helicopters Fly?
The main rotor is the large blade that sits on top of the helicopter. This is the rotor that provides the power associated with lift off and flight. The main rotor usually spins at a constant speed and induces lift by changing the pitch or angle of attack of the blades. The greater the pitch, is, the more lift the rotors will provide.
