Torque Exhibit

Torque Exhibit

This exhibit is displayed on several panels near the front of the Museum gallery. It explains what torque is and how different helicopter manufacturers overcame the natural reaction of helicopter fuselages to spin opposite to the direction of rotor rotation. Nearby helicopters illustrate how different manufacturers countered the rotor torque issue.
