The next question you are probably asking yourself is: "Does the pilot retain control of the helicopter?" The answer is yes. The pilot will still have complete control of his descent and his flight controls. The majority of helicopters are designed with a hydraulic pump mounted on the main transmission. Is this how the anti-torque rotor is driven in the event of powerplant failure? Absolutely. The tail rotor is powered by a driveshaft which receives output from the main transmission. As long as the main rotor and main transmission continue to rotate, the tailrotor will do likewise. On the UH-1 isn't part of that "driveshaft" linkage to the tail rotor actually a titanium chain?
