A non-ducted tail rotor comprising a hub and at least five blades, each of the blades extending to a free end that, in rotation, describes a circle presenting a given “maximum” radius. The hub is rigidly secured to a drive shaft, the hub comprising a hollow circular body centered on an axis of rotation, the body presenting an “internal” radius between the axis of rotation and an outer periphery of the body, the internal radius lying in the range 0.2 times to 0.4 times the maximum radius, each blade presenting a root extended by an airfoil element projecting from the body, extending from the root to the free end, the root being swivel-hinged to the outer periphery about a pitch axis.
