Why doesn't the body of the helicopter rotate in the opposite direction as A helicopter flies off its propeller rotating?

The tail propeller keeps the helicopter straight.


Why is it necessary to have the tail rotor on the helicopter that spins perpendicular to the spin of the main rotor?

"For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction." For the helicopter to make the blade move in one direction, the blade will try to make the helicopter move in the opposite direction. Since the blade tries to make the helicopter spin, something is needed to keep the helicopter from spinning. So the manufacturer puts a tail rotor on the helicopter.


Why does not the body of the helicopter rotate in the opposite direction?

It has another rotor on the tail that spins vertically and counteracts the effects of the rotor on the top. Still, a helicopter is difficult to keep balanced and helicopter pilots are very talented people!


How does a helicopters rotor blades make the helicopter turn left and right?

By adjusting the speed of tail rotor, which points to the side, the pilot can turn the helicopter in flight. The main upper rotor actually plays only a minor part in making helicopter turn. The part supplying most of the control is the tail rotor. Because the main rotor is spinning in one direction, without a tail rotor, the body of the helicopter would spin around in circles in the opposite direction. The reason for this is explained in the first part of Newton's third law of motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite action. The torque generated to make the rotor turn also exerts torque on the body of the helicopter "willing" it to spin the opposite direction. However, the tail rotor spins, pushing air to the side. This creates force in the opposite direction, keeping the helicopter stable. By simply adjusting the speed of the tail rotor, the helicopter can be turned in flight.


How do you stop an air hog helicopter from spinning?

The rotor blade on the side of the helicopter that moving in the opposite direction?

The tail rotor is moving "perpendicular" to the main rotor, not "opposite". The tail rotor creates thrust opposite to the thrust of the main rotor, to keep the fuselage from spinning. Most helicopters spin the main rotor counter-clockwise looking from above, which puts a clockwise rotation on the fuselage. You need a tail rotor pushing the tail counter-clockwise to keep the fuselage pointed in the direction the pilot chooses.


Why does a typical small helicopter with a single rotor have a second small rotor on its tail?

The small rotor on the tail, called the tail rotor, counteracts the torque produced by the main rotor of the helicopter. Without the tail rotor, the helicopter would spin uncontrollably in the opposite direction of the main rotor. The tail rotor helps maintain the helicopter's balance and heading.
