The torque effect experienced in helicopters and single propeller-powered aircraft is an example of Isaac Newton's third law of motion, that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." In helicopters, the torque effect causes the main rotor to turn the fuselage in the opposite direction from the rotor's spin. A small tail rotor is the most common configuration to counter this phenomenon.
