A tail located on a helicopter has a front area located on the tail, a rear area connected to the front area in a foldable manner around the axis, and a first shaft at the front area and a second shaft at the rear area allows power transfer to the tail rotor throughout the flight movement of the helicopter. A first coupling and a second coupling are located on the first shaft in a gear form. A first hub on the first shaft surrounds the first coupling and is form-compatible with the first coupling to allow the first coupling to perform at least partially a spherical rotational movement, and a second hub form-compatible with the second coupling located on the second shaft opposite the second coupling.
