SECTION 10 - HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
DESCRIPTION
The Tail Plane has been designed to generate a down lift to equilibrate the
helicopter pitch attitude.
In high speed forward flight conditions the nose down pitch attitude is given by:
• The control moment generated by the main rotor.
• The aerodynamic moment due to the horizontal main rotor thrust applied
at the rotor head while the fuselage drag applied near the center of gravity
of the rotorcraft.
The main rotor swirl generates up wash on left side and downwash on right
side.
The left wing of tail plane has less pitch while the right wing of tail plane has
more pitch; in this way the aerodynamic incidence is the same for the two wings
and then the aerodynamic forces will be the same.
MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
• Check free play of the tail plane.
• Visually inspect elastomeric bushings for rubber extrusion.
