Abstract
A rotor wing aircraft provided with a propulsion apparatus is disclosed. The aircraft has a rotating mast configured to rotate said rotor wing and the apparatus includes a pole mechanically connectable to the rotating mast of the aircraft. At one of the ends of the pole there is placed an electric turbine, powered by a battery, and configured to rotate the pole around an axis of the rotating mast in such a way that the rotation of the pole can be used to rotate the rotor wing. Preferably the pole is made of carbon fiber.
