Elastic Pitch Beam Tail Rotor.

Abstract

The objectives of this program were to demonstrate the flight worthiness and to evaluate the reliability and maintainability of the Elastic Pitch Beam tail rotor designed for the UH-1H helicopter. This was accomplished by an engineering program which included design, analyses, static testing, fatigue testing, whirl Beam tail rotor on a UH-1H helicopter. (Author)
