[Figure 4-14] NOTAR® Using the natural characteristics of helicopter aerodynamics, the NOTAR® antitorque system provides safe, quiet, responsive, foreign object damage (FOD) resistant directional control. The enclosed variable-pitch composite ... called the Coanda effect. The result is that the tailboom becomes a “wing,” flying in the downwash of the rotor system, producing up to 60 percent of the antitorque required in a hover. The balance of the directional control…

The most basic flight control system designs are mechanical and date back to early aircraft. They operate with ... variety of flight control systems. For example, some aircraft utilized by sport pilots rely on shifting weight while hot-air balloons use a standard burn technique. Helicopters utilize a cyclic to tilt the rotor in the desired direction, along with…
