I understand in NOTAR, it employs the principle of Coanda effect to generate the lateral force in the tail boom. So far in the MD models, the tail boom are all circular in its cross section.

My question is, why not make the tail boom a vertical wing, and employ the bernoulli principle to generate the lateral force from the downwash from the main rotor?
