if the rotor blades are 18 feet from the center of rotation, then 18 feet is the radius of the circle formed.

circumference of a circle is equal to 2 * pi * r.

circumference would be 2 * pi * 18 = 113.09734 feet rounded to 5 decimal places for one complete revolution of the tip of the rotor blade.
