Jairo Payan May 3, 2011:
Mejor verificar con el cliente, hasta donde yo conozco las palas de los helicópteros no se pueden embanderan ni habría logica en embanderarlas pues ello ocasionaría que el helicóptero se venga a tierra "como un piano". Las que si se embanderan son las helices de los aviones, cuando un motor se apaga, con el propósito de reducir la resistencia parásita por el ringleteo de las helices "windmilling" con el aire de impacto. Embanderarlas es dejarlas quietas en su mayor ángulo. Sin embargo eso no lo hace un motor, lo hace el control de la helice.

unfeathering motor

'embanderamiento' is the process whereby an aircraft propellor is configured so it ceases to provide thrust (known as 'feathering'); it will often continue rotate, like a windmill.

The process of restoring a propellor to its normal function, providing thrust, is known as 'unfeathering' --> 'desembanderamiento'

I agree with Jairo's comments in the discussion box, to the effect that feathering a helicoptor rotor makes little sense (and would be downright dangerous unless the helicopter is standing firmly on the ground).
Unless, perhaps, the term is being used 'by analogy' to refer to a 'motor' that drives the rotor swashplate. If that is the case, the 'motor' is most likely a hydraulic actuator. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swashplate_(helicopter)

neutral Rick Larg : 1. I would normally translate 'motor' as 'engine'. 2. See Jairo's comments above.

1. I put 'motor' to avoid confusion with the helicopter's main 'engine' (and 'actuator' might be a better alternative). 2. Pse see note added to my answer.
