According to one embodiment, a rotorcraft (100) includes a body (130), a rotor blade (120), and a power train (110) coupled to the body (130) and operable to rotate the rotor blade (120). The power train (110) includes an engine (112), a gearbox (160) in mechanical communication with the engine (112), and a driveshaft (116) in mechanical communication with the gearbox (160). The rotorcraft (100) also includes a sensor (410) operable to detect a rotorcraft parameter (415), and a lubrication flow calculation unit (420) operable to receive the rotorcraft parameter (415), generate the flow rate (425) based on the rotorcraft parameter (415), and transmit the flow rate (425) to a lubrication system (200, 430) configured to deliver lubricant to the gearbox (160) at the transmitted flow rate (425).
