NOTARSystem 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.

Downwash

Conventional Airflow

Main rotor wake and slot air

produce lift/anti-torque
