Abstract
A rotary wing aircraft with a tail rotor in a rotor duct of a shroud. A bumper projects from a lower transition region of said shroud, said lower transition region having a left hand and a right hand lower transition edge between respectively the left hand and the right hand annular surface around the rotor duct and the bumper. Upper leading edges of a vertical fin and of said shroud are provided with left hand and right hand trailing edges. A projection of the upper transition edge to an upright longitudinal plane is defined by a spline curve through points Pi (i=1 . . . 5) and a projection of the lower transition edge to the plane is defined by a spline curve through points Pi (i=6 . . . 10) defined by their respective coordinates (xi, zi) relative to a centre of the shrouded tail rotor.
