How the coaxial counter-rotating system works

Instead of using a tail rotor to balance the main rotor torque, the coaxial counter-rotating system
has two main rotors, one above the other, turning in opposite directions. This makes it possible
that the torque of the two rotors can exactly balance each other so that the fuselage won't be
twisted during hovering or in straight flight.
Fig. (1) is a schematic layout of the coaxial counter-rotating system, which includes: two motors,
two coaxial main shafts and rotors driven separately by two motors through gears. The actual
mechanism is shown in Fig. (2) below.
