The squirrel-cage rotor type that typically has the highest starting torque is the rotor with a higher resistance to reactance ratio. This design enhances the rotor's ability to produce a larger initial torque when starting, making it particularly effective for applications requiring high starting performance. Additionally, rotors with skewed bars can also improve starting torque by reducing cogging and providing smoother torque delivery.
The starting torque of a wound-rotor motor is higher per ampere of starting current than that of a squirrel cage motor due to the ability to control the rotor resistance. In a wound-rotor motor, external resistance can be added to the rotor circuit, allowing for increased torque production during startup without drawing excessive current. In contrast, squirrel cage motors have a fixed rotor resistance, which limits their starting torque and results in a relatively lower torque per ampere of starting current. This design feature enables wound-rotor motors to provide better performance in high-torque applications.
to obtain high starting torque
It rotates the rotor. Torque is produced by the magnetic force on the current induced in the squirrel cage. This magnetic force acts as torque on the rotor as a tangential force that makes it spin.
by adding external resistance to the shaft of rotor
In double cage and deep bar the tarting torque increases due to skin effect in the rotor wire. So the rotor circuit draw less current than simple circuit that draw around 7-8 times the rated current on starting. Due to skin effect the rotor resistance increases and it provide maximum torque at low speed.

As magnetic field of dc motor is constant. Whenever a current is given to rotor winding there will be a magnetic flux in air gap between rotor and winding so there will be torque in rotor of f=ibl. so due to this torque rotor get rotate and get started.
To counteract the force of torque created by the main rotor. If not for that tail rotor, the torque would cause the helicopter to spin continuously around.
It rotates the rotor. Torque is produced by the magnetic force on the current induced in the squirrel cage. This magnetic force acts as torque on the rotor as a tangential force that makes it spin.
As per the operating principle of the Synchronous motor, due to continuous & rapid rotation of stator poles,the rotor is subjected to a torque which is rapidly reversing i.e. in quick succession,the rotor is subjected to torque which tends to move it first in one direction & then in the opposite direction.Owing to its large inertia,the rotor cannot instataneously respond to such quickly-reversing torque,with the result that it remains stationary or in other words it is not self starting.

If Rotor resistance is increased torque is increased
A small tilt is applied to one rotor to counteract yaw from unbalanced rotor torque
A wound rotor is an electrical rotor used in certain types of induction motors, particularly in wound rotor induction motors. It consists of windings that are connected to external resistances, allowing for control of the motor's speed and torque. This design enables better starting characteristics and improved efficiency, particularly in high-torque applications. The rotor windings are typically connected to slip rings, which provide the necessary electrical connections to the external circuitry.
The amount of torque required by a tail rotor depends on factors such as the size and weight of the helicopter, the speed at which it's flying, and external forces like wind. Generally, tail rotors are designed to provide enough torque to counteract the torque produced by the main rotor and maintain stable flight.
