Abstract

See full text

A method of optimizing sections of a tail boom for a rotary wing aircraft, and also to a tail boom including such sections. The method comprises the step of creating a database characterizing standard sections for a tail boom that give precedence to minimizing a negative lift and/or to increasing a lateral force generated by the air stream from the main rotor of the aircraft flowing over the tail boom, a step of establishing looked-for aerodynamic and structural characteristics for said tail boom, and a step of defining the sections of the tail boom as a function of the standard sections and of the looked-for aerodynamic and structural characteristics. The tail boom as defined in this way optimizes the reduction in the negative lift and/or the increase in the lateral force generated by the air stream from the main rotor.
