A modal tailboom flight control system (102) for a compound helicopter (104) is operable in a plurality of modes including a forward thrust mode and an anti-torque mode. The modal tailboom flight control system (102) includes a tailboom (116), a drivetrain (100) extending through the tailboom (116), an anti-torque system (108) coupled to the drivetrain (100) and rotatable to generate anti-torque thrust for the compound helicopter (104) in the anti-torque mode and a pusher propeller (106) coupled to the drivetrain (100) and rotatable to generate forward thrust for the compound helicopter (104) in the forward thrust mode. The pusher propeller (106) is positioned forward of the anti-torque system (108).
