Main rotor-tail rotor intraction 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

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).

Imaging and Motion Parameter Estimation of Flying Helicopter With Duo Airborne SARs in
Duo airborne synthetic aperture radars in the $X$-band are proposed to acquire images of a flying helicopter. The backscattered signals manifest entangled features attributed to the compound linear motion of fuselage and spin motion of rotors.
