Rotor Blade Trim Tab

Rotor Blade Trim Tabs are components used in the aviation industry, specifically in helicopters. They are part of the rotor blade assembly and are designed to adjust the pitch or angle of the rotor blades during flight.

The purpose of the trim tab is to help maintain the balance and stability of the helicopter by counteracting any imbalances caused by factors such as wind or changes in weight distribution. By adjusting the position of the trim tab, the pilot can fine-tune the pitch of the rotor blades, ensuring smooth and controlled flight.

Trim tabs are typically made of lightweight materials such as aluminum or composite materials to minimize added weight to the rotor system. They are attached to the trailing edge of the rotor blade and can be adjusted manually or electronically, depending on the helicopter's design.

In the supply class Miscellaneous Items, the Rotor Blade Trim Tab falls under the category of components and parts that are not specifically categorized under other supply groups. These miscellaneous items are essential for the proper functioning and maintenance of helicopters, ensuring safe and efficient flight operations.
