tail rotor
- Definição1
- The tail rotor is a smaller rotor mounted vertically or near vertically on the tail of a traditional single-rotor helicopter. The tail rotor either pushes or pulls against the tail to counter the torque. The tail rotor drive system consists of a drive shaft powered from the main transmission and a gearbox mounted at the end of the tail boom.

- Definição2
- A rotor turning in plane perpendicular to that of the main rotor and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fuselage. Used to control the torque of the main rotor and to provide movement on the yaw axis of the helicopter.

- Contexto
- When a single-rotor helicopter flies through translational lift, the air flowing through the main rotor and over the tail rotor becomes less turbulent and more aerodynamically efficient.
