Main Rotor-Tail Rotor Interaction and Its Implications for Helicopter Directional Control [PDF]
Aerodynamic interference between the main and tail rotor can have a strong negative influence on the flight mechanics of a conventional helicopter. Significant unsteadiness in the tail rotor loading is encountered under certain flight conditions, but the character of the unsteadiness can depend on the direction of rotation of the tail rotor.

Helicopter Tail Rotor Thrust and Main Rotor Wake Coupling in Crosswind Flight [PDF]
The tail rotor of a helicopter with a single main rotor configuration can experience a significant reduction in thrust when the aircraft operates in crosswind flight. Brown’s vorticity transport model has been used to simulate a main rotor and tail rotor system translating at a sideslip angle that causes the tail rotor to interact with the main rotor ...

Main Rotor Wake Interference Effects on Tail Rotor Thrust in Crosswind
Reverse pedal operational property in front crosswind flight condition is a potential hazard for accidents involving loss of tail rotor effectiveness (LTE), which is closely related to the main rotor (MR) wake interference on the tail rotor (TR).

Methods for Attenuation of Helicopter [PDF]
Helicopters can be a source of loud noise. The high production noise of helicopters makes them unsuitable for densely populated areas, especially in low-flying conditions.

Numerical analysis for main-rotor/tail-rotor interaction of helicopter
A simulation method for full helicopter configuration is constructed by combining an unsteady Euler code and an aeroacoustic code based on the Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings formulation. The flow field and helicopter noise are calculated using a moving overlapped grid system, and the mutual effect of main rotor and tail rotor are studied for the ...
