PhotoFlyer Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 One of my students showed me the following picture of an Alouette II and asked me what the cables that are attached to each blade are for. I'm not sure if they run from blade to blade, or from blade to mast, and I have absolutely no idea what it is for. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are lead/lag restraints, essentially fail-safes in the event of a failed damper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 They are going between blade to blade and they are there to keep the distance between the leading blade and the trailing blade. Just to keep the distance and avoid a complete distorsion of the head or the arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
