How does that go fast fin actually work?
Looking at the BLR page, they say for conventional rotorcraft it improves hot and high performance, as well as max speed.
Is that because in the hover or slow flight a wider traditional fin acts as a sail counteracting tail-rotor power in port or starboard vector?
Does a larger fin cross section inhibit higher cruise speeds?
