FAA AMT (Aviation Maintenance Technician) Airframe Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 1030

The auxiliary (tail) rotor of a helicopter helps the pilot with:

Torque and directional control

The auxiliary rotor, also known as the tail rotor, is an essential component of a helicopter's design. It provides an opposing force to counteract the torque created by the main rotor, thus allowing the pilot to have better control over the direction of the helicopter. Option B is incorrect because the auxiliary rotor does not directly affect fuel efficiency. Option C is incorrect as the main rotor controls the speed of the helicopter. Option D is incorrect because the auxiliary rotor does not have a direct impact on the altitude adjustment of the helicopter. Therefore, the correct answer is A Torque and directional control.
