It's hard to comprehend just how big these aircraft are. A friend of mine parked his EC135 beside a Skycrane that was fighting bushfires here in Australia and took a photo for comparison - the tail rotor of the sky crane was fully half the diameter of the EC135's main rotor.

Can someone explain to me why the rotor on these and some other helicopters is tilted to one side? Is it to counter a natural torquing force or does it offset gyroscopic precession in a way that corrects a handling characteristic? Or maybe something else?
