jjsemperfi Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 So I heard from a CH-47 crew chief that to make a pedal turn the blades will actually change their lift vectors by tilting the disk. I've always wondered how they work. Anyone know for sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharyouTree Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Find yourself a copy of FM 3-04.203 (Army Fundamentals of flight....I think available online). It's got pictures. (and is pretty convenient for other stuff as well.....) Link seems to explain pretty well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroscout Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Anti torque pedals are cyclic inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmfish Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 And the complexity of the control tubes, bell cranks, and mixing units is enough to make your head spin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBuzzkill Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Spin. LoL nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superstallion6113 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Think the mixing unit is complicated on a 46? Look at the mixers on a CH-53E. The thing I hated most about the CH-46E was removing the yokes for phase and changing the hell crank. Literal hell right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightsta1ker Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) The Chinook is not that bad... then again... I've been working on them for 10 years... The flight control rigging on the Chinook is actually quite simple compared to a Blackhawk. I've worked on both, and I would much rather rig a Chinook!

superstallion6113 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I hated H-60 controls, but they are simpler than the 53E, just more finicky. I can't remember how many ships we chased popping and clicking on at Sikorsky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
