A directional control system for a rotorcraft having a tail boom including a no-tail-rotor apparatus configured to control rotorcraft yaw using forced air ejected from the tail boom and a duct configured to deliver the forced air to the no-tail-rotor apparatus. The directional control system comprises a heat exchanger having air passages and fluid passages, the air passages in fluid communication with the duct, the fluid passages in heat exchange relationship with the air passages and configured for receiving a cooling fluid, and a forced air driver in fluid communication with the duct for driving the forced air through the duct to the no-tail-rotor apparatus. Methods of providing directional control in a rotorcraft are also discussed.
