Regardless of direction of rotation...
Regardless how high or low the TR output shaft is...
Regardless of how passengers are arranged...

ALL SINGLE ROTOR HELICOPTERS have a vertical propeller creating horizontal thrust that blows the aircraft sideways. The correct term is "translating tendency."
THE ONLY WAY TO STOP the sideways movement of the helicopter is to tilt the rotor tip-path-plane a little bit to the opposite side and create an equal amount of sideways thrust the other way.
All helicopters' fuselages will tilt along with and in the same direction as the rotor's tip-path-plane, some head designs more than others.
