Helicopter part found on Kilimanjaro, torched (5)

I believe the answer is:

rotor

'helicopter part' is the definition.
('rotor' is part of 'helicopter')

'found on kilimanjaro torched' is the wordplay.
'found' indicates a hidden word.
'ROTOR' can be found hidden inside 'on kilimanjaro torched'.

(Other definitions for rotor that I've seen before include "Turning component" , "Reversible piece of moving machinery?" , "Turning motor part" , "Spinner" , "The machine part moves in a circle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
