NOTAR®System – How It Works
The NOTAR® system consists of an enclosed articulated fan driven by the main transmission, a circulation control tail boom, direct-jet thruster, and vertical stabilizers. Low pressure air, forced through two slots on the tail boom, causes the main rotor downwash to “hug” the contour of the boom, creating lateral lift that counteracts main rotor torque.
