EMPENNAGE
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Empennage
−
General
The empennage has the components that
follow: horizontal stabilizer, elastomeric
damper, left and right, upper and lower
endplates, and fairings.
2. Horizontal Stabilizer
The horizontal stabilizer is a control surface
that does not move. It gives pitch stability to
the helicopter in forward flight.
The horizontal stabilizer is attached to two
frames on the aft end of the tailboom. On the
right side, the horizontal stabilizer is attached
to the frames by bolts that permit the stabiliz
er to pivot. On the left side, the horizontal
stabilizer is attached to an elastomeric damper
that decreases vibration into the empennage
attach frames.
The horizontal stabilizer has the components
that follow: horizontal stabilizer bonded
assembly, lower structural skin panel, inboard
and outboard ribs, empennage attach fittings
and intercostals, journal (bearing) housings,
journal bearings, attach brackets, and access
covers.
A. Horizontal Stabilizer Bonded Assembly
The horizontal stabilizer bonded assembly has
the components that follow: spar, trailing edge
core, and trailing edge skin.
The spar and trailing edge skin are made as
monolithic laminates of graphite/epoxy. The
spar has an external surface ply of Astro
strike
aluminum mesh on the lower surface
and Astrostrike
and aluminum foil on the
upper surface. The Astrostrike
and alumi
num foil give lightning strike protection and a
ground for antenna installations. The trailing
edge core is machined nomex honeycomb.
B. Lower Structural Skin Panel
The lower structural skin panel is installed on
the bottom of the horizontal stabilizer spar
between the empennage attach frames. The
panel gives access to the inner side of the spar
during the installation of the inboard ribs and
empennage attach fittings. The empennage
wire harnesses come out through this panel.
The panel is made from aluminum alloy sheet.
The panel is installed with blind titanium
fasteners.
C. Inboard and Outboard Rib
The inboard and outboard ribs are installed
longitudinally against the inner surfaces of the
horizontal stabilizer spar. The left and right
inboard ribs give support to the empennage
attach frames. The left and right outboard ribs
give support to the upper and lower journal
(bearing) housings.
The left and right inboard ribs are machined
from aluminum alloy plate. The ribs are
installed with blind titanium fasteners.
The left and right outboard ribs are made of
monolithic laminates with multiple plies of
graphite/epoxy. The ribs are installed with
blind titanium fasteners.
D. Empennage Attach Fitting and Intercostal
The empennage attach fittings and intercos
tals attach the horizontal stabilizer to the
attach frames on the aft end or the tailboom.
The left and right empennage attach fittings
are installed against the external side of the
horizontal stabilizer spar. The forward and aft
intercostals are installed between the forward
and aft empennage attach frames, and to the
horizontal stabilizer spar. The attach fittings
and intercostals are installed with blind
titanium fasteners and/or rivets.
The left and right empennage attach frames
are machined from aluminum alloy plate. The
forward and aft intercostals are made from
aluminum alloy sheet.
E. Journal Housings and Journal Bearings
The journal housings and journal bearings
give support for the left and right endplate
spar tubes. The left and right upper and lower
journal housings are installed at the outboard
