Flight-test results which describe flying-quality factors related to the fan-in-fin yaw control concept as utilized on a pre-production version of a European helicopter are presented. Design compromises to be considered with this concept are also presented. The large, fixed vertical fin associated with the fan-in-fin system was helpful in maneuvering flight, but introduced several flying-quality problems when combined with the fan.
