Oct 29, 2020 · Tail rotors are how the helicopter counteracts the torque generated from the large central rotor. While the central lifting rotor spins incredibly fast to lift the craft, it creates a torque ...
The tail rotor is a smaller rotor mounted vertically or near-vertically at the tail of a traditional single-rotor helicopter, where it rotates to generate a propeller -like horizontal thrust in the same direction as the main rotor 's rotation. The tail rotor's position and distance from the helicopter's center of mass allow it to develop enough ...
1. The Multi-Bladed System. This is the most common type of anti-torque system that you will see on a helicopter. It comprises of two or more rotor blades that change pitch to adjust the amount of thrust they produce as a unit. The pilot controls the pitch of the tail rotor by pushing on the foot pedals.

Enter the tail rotor —a vertical or near-vertical set of blades positioned at the rear of the helicopter. Its primary function is to counteract the torque generated by the main rotors. By pushing the helicopter in the opposite direction of the torque, the tail rotor ensures stability during flight, preventing the aircraft from wobbling or ...
