Description: On the basis of several flight test programs conducted to date, a directional control margin improvement of at least 5 percent is obtainable for right-sideward flight throught the use of flow pattern separation-controlling tail-boom strakes. The enhanced directional control margin is critically important in low speed maneuvers, where high airloads are experienced by the tailboom. Numerous European helicopters have incorporated the strake on their tailbooms.
