About This Video

Ever wondered why the Chinook or Kamov helicopters don't have a small tail rotor?

In a normal helicopter, the main rotor creates torque, which tries to spin the aircraft. That’s why most need a tail rotor to stay straight.
But not all.

By using two main rotors spinning in opposite directions, these heavy-lifters cancel out the torque completely.

No spin. No tail rotor. Just maximum lifting power.
It’s beating physics at its own game.
