The elimination of torque on the fuselage provides many improvements in safety and ease of piloting. Many fatal helicopter accidents are the direct consequence of tail rotor system failures and corresponding loss of directional control. The complete removal of an anti-torque system eliminates the associated risk. Unfortunately, there have been many accidents of people being seriously injured by walking into a tail rotor.
Single-rotor helicopters with a single engine and mechanical transmissions that suffer engine failure require the pilot to enter into autorotation within seconds. There is a strong rudder pedal input required because the fuselage torque has fallen and the collective must be lowered rapidly to maintain rotor rpm. AirJet helicopters have no torque and consequently there is no rudder pedal input required and additionally, the higher inertia rotor provide for additional time to lower the collective and gently enter into autorotation.
The typical curve of altitude versus forward speed for a mechanically driven helicopter is all but eliminated in an AirJet Helicopter! The elimination of an anti-torque system combined with ease of autorotation results in a much smaller no-fly curve.
