Abstract
The invention relates to an aircraft designed as a compound helicopter with an aircraft fuselage, a main rotor arranged on the aircraft fuselage, and cyclogyro rotors which protrude laterally from the aircraft fuselage and which comprise an outer end surface. An improved torque compensation is achieved in that the cyclogyro rotors are connected to the aircraft fuselage by means of a suspension device which holds the cyclogyro rotors at the outer border of the rotors, and each cyclogyro rotor can be controlled individually and independently of the other. A torque compensation function of the main rotor can be carried out by the cyclogyro rotors.
