aviation terminology[edit]

Helicopters which utilize shrouded rotors are said to have "festooned" rotors. It is not at all uncommon for a helicopter type to feature a festooned tailrotor (Eurocopter's EC135, Sikorsky's S76, Agusta's AS365), it reportedly offers noticable reduction in the volume of the tail rotor. Festooned tail rotors are also reputedly safer, offering some protection from the blades of the tail rotor to ground workers. This is particularly useful with search/rescue and medevac helicopters, which often utilize rear loading doors to load/unload stretchers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.204.217.29 (talk) 08:35, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
