The UH-60 series helicopter has in fact a very small vertical stabilizer surface and any sort of t/r drive failure calls for engine shutdown and auto. You can't sustain straight and level flight without t/r drive.
An interesting feature are the t/r pitch centering springs that allow for in trim forward flight at a certain weight and either 40kts or 125kts in case of a t/r control failure.
