Tail Rotor Drive Shaft Assembly

The Tail Rotor Drive Shaft Assembly is a component that belongs to the supply class Helicopter Rotor Blades, Drive Mechanisms And Components in the supply group Aerospace Craft Components And Accessories.

The Tail Rotor Drive Shaft Assembly is an essential part of a helicopter's tail rotor system. It is responsible for transmitting power from the main rotor gearbox to the tail rotor, which helps control the helicopter's yaw or rotation around its vertical axis.

The assembly typically consists of a shaft, bearings, seals, and other necessary components. It is designed to withstand the high rotational speeds and torque generated by the main rotor gearbox and efficiently transfer that power to the tail rotor.

The Tail Rotor Drive Shaft Assembly plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability and maneuverability of the helicopter during flight. It is subject to regular inspections, maintenance, and replacement to ensure safe and reliable operation.
