A rotorcraft provided on top with a fairing (3) arranged below the rotary wing of a main rotor of substantially vertical axis of the rotorcraft, and covering a mechanism enabling the blades of the rotary wing of the main rotor to be operated. The streamlined shape of the fairing (3) is shaped longitudinally like a drop of water that is truncated in its rear portion. The truncated portion (6) forms the rear wall of the fairing (3) and is provided with a transversely middle hump (7). Said hump (7) is provided with projections in relief (9) arranged as waves in a longitudinal succession extending along the side walls of the fairing (3), and the truncated portion (6) is arranged in a plane sloping towards the rear of the rotorcraft. By use of the rotorcraft provided by the invention, not only can aerodynamic resistance be reduced and the weight limited, but turbulent flow generated at the rear end of the fairing also moves regularly and stably, including air flow surrounding the rotorcraft including remarkable lateral vector components as well.
