The oil cooler blower is driven by the short engine drive shaft and
draws air in from the engine compartment. Air is then ducted and
forced through the engine/transmission oil cooler and exhausted
overboard.
The main transmission has an integral lubrication and oil
supply/cooling system.
Two doors are installed on the helicopter, one on each side for entry
and egress of personnel. Transparent windows with rotational air
vents are contained in the doors. Additional air vents are located on
each side of the instrument panel and overhead in front of the cockpit
bulkhead.
The tail rotor transmission is mounted on the aft end of the aft
fuselage and has a self-contained lubricant system. The tail rotor is
mounted on the output shaft of the transmission and consists of two
variable pitch blades.
The main rotor group consists of three main rotor blades, a fully
articulated main rotor hub assembly, and a swashplate and associated
mixer control mechanisms. The helicopter is equipped with either
(3) 269A1185-1 (23.75 in. trailing edge tab) or (3) 269A1185-5
(74.25 in. trailing edge tab) main rotor blades.
The pilot’s cyclic control stick and adjustable tail rotor control
pedals are directly in front of the pilot’s seat. The collective pitch
control stick is located on the left of the pilot’s seat. The entire
control system is a mechanically linked type. The copilot’s controls
are similar for the optional dual control installation.
The non-retractable landing gear is a horizontal, skid type gear,
attached to the front and rear cross beams. Aerodynamic fairing’s
cover the struts, from the fuselage to the skids. Nitrogen charged
landing gear dampers, between the struts and cross beams, act as
shock absorbers to cushion landings and provide ground stability.
Provisions for ground handling wheels are incorporated on the skid
tubes.
A 150 amp starter generator is supplied as standard equipment.
There are no limitations on use of generator output.
