Like I said, if you are traveling fast enough forward the tail fin is angled in such a way to allow it to act as a control surface that can manipulate the yaw of the aircraft by adjusting the speed. You can do a run-on landing using this technique.

I'd be very interested to know which make/model of helicopter that is. None of the dozens of makes or models I've worked with had any kind of tailfin that was, in any way, considered a yaw control surface. Aerodynamic fairing? Sure. Flight control? Absolutely not."It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."Comment

Assuming the drag was sufficient to keep the body from rotating, wouldn't that cause massive drag and lower airspeed?"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Give me a minute I'm digging. I have been told this by tech reps in the building.

The speed that it would have to be rotating for drag to become an issue would have turned everyone inside into silly putty by then.Originally posted by CJ View Post"It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."Comment

I know the find in a Schweitzer 300 are designed more to keep the tail rotor from going into vortex ring state by deflecting airflow to the tailComment
Vortex ring state in a vertical tail rotor? That's an odd concept. I really don't see how the tiny fixed surfaces could do anything useful in a loss of tail rotor authority scenario though. I can see how they might channel a small amount of additional flow to the tr in forward flight, but it couldn't be much.Originally posted by Danny46 View Post"It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."Comment

We are retrofitting so much shit because of that incident. The design office made huge changes to service life limits on planet gears and supporting / connected parts and eliminated all but 1 manufacturer of them.Originally posted by jw33 View PostComment
