  • Helicopter torque counteraction device
    Patent number: 8430353
    Abstract: A torque resisting device for a helicopter, wherein the helicopter includes a body and a main rotor. The device includes a deflector secured to and movable relative to the body, wherein the body includes opposing lateral sides and the deflector is movable to a position to extend away from only one of the lateral sides of the opposing lateral sides. The deflector includes a dimension extending in a plane generally non-parallel to a plane of the main rotor. Further included is a method for counteracting a torque created by the rotation of a main rotor of a helicopter.
