Zusammenfassung:According to one implementation of the present disclosure, a tail rotor system of a rotorcraft includes an electric motor, a swiveling actuator, a spindle, and a hub assembly. The hub assembly may be configured to position two or more blades. Also, in response to a control signal, the swiveling actuator may be configured to actuate swivel rotation of the spindle around a vertical axis such that the hub assembly turns from a first horizontal directional axis to a second horizontal directional axis.
