Q

What kind of rotor do we have?

A

A fully articulated.

18
Q

Sprag clutch on main drive shaft to _______________.

A

spin impact of main drive shaft

(Connect engine output shaft from engine RGB to xmsn AGB to provide drive via drive shaft to main and t/r, and then decouple to allow autorotation if engine fails)
