@@56WagonWheel I've seen a tail rotor out of balance do that, but bounce is usually quicker. I really doubt bent shaft, it definitely wouldn't last long. It could also be a mount bearing for the driveshaft. If i was really looking i would concentrate on tail fold and airframe integrity, if everything else checked. We had a CH53D that bounced so bad, nobody would fly it, and we spent close to a year trying to find problem. Sometimes it's just them Gremlins!!

I wonder how it engages the rotors without stalling - presumably it has to change gear a few times before takeoff rotation speed...

@VMCAviationVideos 3 жыл бұрын

I don't have the answer to that

@nzrailmaps Жыл бұрын

Cars need multi speed gearbox primarily for a wide speed range. In a helicopter the rotors run at the same speed all the time it is operating so a gearbox is not needed to give a range of speeds. The clutch is engaged on the ground when the load on the rotors is lowest and never disengaged unless the engine fails. There is enough engine power at the point of clutch engagement to achieve this without stalling the engine.

@noshsreqd Ай бұрын

There's a fluid coupling or torque converter between the engine and transmission that allows for engine startup and bringing rotors up to speed, once rotors are turning then the engine is idled down to allow the one way clutch to engage and then it is positive direct drive for flight.
