A parking tail rotor for a rotary wing aircraft stops rotating at a high forward aircraft speed when aircraft control surfaces have adequate control authority to balance main rotor torque without the rotating tail rotor. When stopped, the blades of the parking tail rotor move due to the force of the relative wind to a parked position in which the span of the blades extend in the aft direction, reducing air resistance to the forward motion of the aircraft.
