AIRCRAFT DESCRIPTION AND DATA

EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES

Aircraft Description
Helicopters are twin turboshaft engine aircraft (Figure 1 [General Arrangement]). Their primary
mission is the transportation of troops, litter patients, and equipment. Helicopters are powered by
two T700-GE-701D engines, mounted above the mid-fuselage. The main rotor group consists of a
four bladed, fully articulated, elastomeric rotor. The tail rotor group consists of a canted crossbeam
tail rotor with two continuous composite spars running from blade tip to blade tip, crossing each
other at the hub to form the four tail rotor blades. Forward, rear, lateral, and vertical flight is
performed by the main rotor system, while the tail rotor system counteracts torque from the main
rotor and provides directional control. Power to drive the main rotor is supplied from engine torque
transmitted by drive shafting to the input module of the main transmission. The tail rotor is driven by
drive shafting extending from the main module of the main transmission through the intermediate
gear box to the tail rotor gear box. Three separate hydraulic systems are used in the helicopter. The
No. 1 and No. 2 hydraulic systems provide power for the main rotor servos and the pilot-assist
servos. The No. 3 or backup hydraulic system provides backup power for the No. 1 and No. 2
hydraulic systems and recharges the APU start subsystem. The backup hydraulic system also
provides power for ground checks without operation of the main transmission. Basic electrical power
is supplied by two AC generators mounted on the accessory module. AC power is converted to DC
power for operation of certain systems.

(Sheet 2 of 2)
Helicopter similar to the UH-60M described except its primary mission is Medevac. Secondary
missions include transport of medical teams, deliver medical supplies, and provide support for
combat search and rescue missions. Kit installations for helicopter consist of a range of extension
tanks, rescue hoist, medical evacuation, infrared suppression, blade anti-icing, and blackout devices.
The medical interior contains space for seating of three medical attendants and two independent
medical stations that are designed to transport three littered patients or three ambulatory (seated)
patients or crew members. Litter platforms can also be moved up, out of the way, to transport cargo.
Restraint of cargo is by tie down rings installed on the floor. Provisions for securing carry on medical
equipment and supporting intravenous fluid bags are mounted through out cabin.
Principal Dimensions
Principal dimensions of the helicopter are shown in Figure 2 [Principal Dimensions].
Stations, waterlines, and buttlines (in inches) are used as an accurate method of locating or
installing equipment in the airframe. See Figure 3 [Stations, Waterlines, and Buttlines] for stations,
waterlines, and buttlines for this helicopter.
Access and Inspection Provisions
Access and inspection provisions consist of access doors, covers, panels, platforms, screens, and
openings used for maintenance, inspection, and servicing of the helicopter and its components.
Principal access and inspection openings are shown in Figure 4 [Access and Inspection Provisions]
and Table 1 [Access Panels and Fairings].
Steps, Handholds, and Walkways
Steps, handholds, and walkways aid in inspection and maintenance of the helicopter are shown in
Figure 5 [Steps, Handholds, and Walkways] Work areas are shown in Figure 6 [Work Areas].
