An aerodynamic blunt aft body (10) of a helicopter fuselage with two strakes (7, 8) along an aft surface (9) and/or respective left hand and right hand side fuselage surfaces (5, 6). Each strake (7, 8) is defined by first and second intersection lines (3, 4) resulting from intersections of horizontal planes (z) with the surface of the aft surface (9) or the respective left hand and right hand side fuselage surfaces (7, 8). The strakes are defined by a two or three dimensional spline (12) from the surface (2) towards the aft surface (9) inside said first and second intersection lines (3, 4) and inside the bounding box (15).
