  2. Fenestron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenestron

    A view of the EC120B's tailboom and Fenestron anti-torque tail fan. A Fenestron (sometimes alternatively referred to as a fantail or a "fan-in-fin" arrangement [1]) is an enclosed helicopter tail rotor that operates like a ducted fan.

  3. Eurocopter EC130 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocopter_EC130

    The EC130 is a single-engine helicopter. It uses a three-bladed Starflex main rotor which is matched to an enclosed tail fan anti-torque device, known as a Fenestron, the latter feature replacing the traditional tail rotor found on the older AS350. The Fenestron has unevenly spaced blades to reduce noise generation by 50% compared to a ...

  4. Tail rotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_rotor

    The tail rotor system rotates airfoils, small wings called blades, that vary in pitch in order to vary the amount of thrust they produce.The blades most often utilize a composite material construction, such as a core made of aluminum honeycomb or plasticized paper honeycomb, covered in a skin made of aluminum or carbon fiber composite.

  5. Robinson R44 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_R44

    The R44 is a single-engined helicopter with a semi-rigid two-bladed main rotor, a two-bladed tail rotor and a skid landing gear. It has an enclosed cabin with two rows of side-by-side seating for a pilot and three passengers. Tail rotor direction of rotation on the R44 is reversed compared to the R22 for improved yaw control authority.

  6. Helicopter rotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_rotor

    The tail rotor is a smaller rotor mounted so that it rotates vertically or near-vertically at the end of the tail of a traditional single-rotor helicopter. The tail rotor's position and distance from the center of gravity allow it to develop thrust in a direction opposite that of the main rotor's rotation, thereby countering the torque effect ...

    The first prototype SA 340 flew for the first time on 7 April 1967, it initially flew with a conventional tail rotor taken from the Alouette II. The tail was replaced in early 1968 with the distinctive fenestron tail on the second prototype. [2] [5] Four SA 341 prototypes were flown, including one for British firm Westland Helicopters.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agusta_A.103

    The Agusta A.103 was an Italian prototype single-seat light helicopter flown in October 1959. The pilot was enclosed by a perspex bubble with the engine at the rear and the tail rotor carried on an enclosed boom.

  9. MD Helicopters MD 500 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD_Helicopters_MD_500

    Because the fan is enclosed in the tailboom, tail rotor noise—the major source of noise from most conventional helicopters—was significantly reduced. [18] It also eliminated the vulnerable exposed tail rotor blades, eliminating the possibility of persons being injured or killed on the ground and the cause for many confined area manoeuvring ...
