To separate airflow downwash from the main rotor on one side of the tailboom.
2424on some helicopters running the length of the tail boom are 'l' shape brackets these are known as tail boom strakes and they act like spoilersthe strake breaks up the airflow downwash from the main rotor on one side creating a low pressure airflow past the strake the 'normal' higher pressure airflow on the unobstructed side of the tailboom thus turns the tailboom into a wing and creates lift toward the strake side of the boom this offloads the anti torque demand on the tail rotor giving greater tail rotor authority in the hoverTo counteract the downward force of the tailboom. to decrease lateral forces. to avoid the 'vortex ring' state.
