Spinning part of a helicopter (5)

I believe the answer is:

rotor

(Other definitions for rotor that I've seen before include "part of chopper" , "one lifting chopper?" , "Revolving mechanism" , "Revolving part of a machine, a palindrome" , "System of turning helicopter blades" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
