Tractor vs Puller Tail Rotor Orientation
Just Curious...
Where did the names 'tractor' and 'puller' come from relative to the physical set up of the tail rotor?
I.e., Where did the term 'tractor' originate and exactly what does it mean in the context of the tail rotor orientation? Where did the term 'puller' originate and exactly what does it mean in the context of the tail rotor orientation?
!Correction: I meant tractor/puller vs. pusher. Thank you all for the explanations throughout this thread.
