float
in degrees
Blade alpha is the dynamic-pressure-weighted average of all element angles of attack of the rotor blades. Expect blade slap as these numbers approach stall, if the disc angle of attack is near zero, so the vortices are not being cleared form the disc. Dimension is by prop.

float
as a ratio
Disc slap is the audio slappping sound that happens when the blades of a rotor encounter the tip vortices of the blade in front of them.

Dimension is by prop.

sim/flightmodel2/engines/rotor_disc_alpha_deg
float
in degrees
Disc alpha is the anlge of attack of the rotor disc, after adding the influence of downwash through the disc.
