A main rotor torque compensation apparatus for a helicopter having a main rotor and a tail rotor includes vertical tails that are supported at a variable angle of attack. An actuator adjusts the angle of attack such that the main rotor torque is compensated by the torque of the tails together with the torque of the tail rotor.
