  2. Torque effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_effect

    Torque effect is an effect experienced in helicopters and single propeller-powered aircraft is an example of Isaac Newton's third law of motion, that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." In helicopters, the torque effect causes the main rotor to turn the

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakovlevian_torque

    The Yakovlevian torque in the cerebrum (exaggerated). Redrawn from Toga & Thompson (2003). [1]Yakovlevian torque (also known as occipital bending (OB) [2] or counterclockwise brain torque [3]) is the tendency of the right side of the human brain to be warped slightly forward relative to the left and the left side of the human brain to be warped slightly backward relative to the right.

    The tail rotor pushes or pulls against the tail to counter the torque effect, and this has become the most common configuration for helicopter design, usually at the end of a tail boom. [citation needed] Some helicopters use other anti-torque controls instead of the tail rotor, such as the ducted fan (called Fenestron or FANTAIL) and NOTAR.

  8. Helicopter rotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_rotor

    With a single main rotor helicopter, the creation of torque as the engine turns the rotor creates a torque effect that causes the body of the helicopter to turn in the opposite direction of the rotor. To eliminate this effect, some sort of antitorque control must be used with a sufficient margin of power available to allow the helicopter to ...
