Study Notes
Power Transmission Overview
- Power is generated from engines and combined in the Main Gearbox (MGB).
- The MGB transmits power to the main rotor for helicopter operation.
- Tail rotor system receives power from MGB via a drive shaft and several gearboxes.
Tail Rotor Drive Systems
- Tail rotor drive shaft is connected to MGB, ensuring power transfer.
- Power is transmitted through flexibly coupled shafts to the auxiliary gearbox, intermediate gearbox, and finally to the tail rotor gearbox.
Accessory Drives
- Power from MGB is utilized for various essential accessories.
- Accessories are organized in the MGB on the Left-Hand (LH) and Right-Hand (RH) sides.
- Key drives include:
- Hydraulic pump drive
- Alternator drive
- Lubricating pump drive
Components of Transmission System
- The transmission system integrates several critical assemblies:
- Main Gearbox (MGB): Central hub for power combining and distribution.
- Auxiliary Gearbox: Supports additional power requirements, particularly for tail rotor.
- Intermediate Gearbox: Acts as a transitional gearbox for power to the tail rotor.
- Tail Gearbox: Directly drives the tail rotor, aiding in directional control.
- Tail Drive Shaft: Transfers power from intermediate gear to tail gearbox.
- Anti-Resonance Isolation System (ARIS): Minimizes vibrations for smoother operation.
Visualization Reference
- For a comprehensive understanding, refer to diagrams referenced (Fig. 1-1 for transmission arrangement, Fig. 1-2 for subsystem assemblies).
