Bell 206 Tail Rotor Blades
New to the market, composite tail rotor blades available for the Bell 206 series helicopter.
STC: SR02249LA
| Models: | 206B | 206L-1 | 206L-4 |
| 206L | 206L-3 |
Composite 206 tail rotor blade takes advantage of high-tech materials, a more efficient airfoil design, and advanced construction techniques to deliver great performance at double the life of current blades on the market. The composite tail rotor blade features a carbon fiber spar and skins, titanitum root fitting, and a nickel abrasion strip, resulting in a lighter but stronger rotor blade.
Features:
- 5,000-hour life (double the life of the OEM blade)
- New, more efficient airfoil design and profile
- No modification to tail rotor hub needed for installation
- Nickel abrasion strip reduces leading edge wear
- Corrosion-resistant composite blade with carbon fiber spar and skin, and titanium root fitting
- New pitch bearing design
- 40% reduction in noise
Fatigue Test:
Per FAA requirements, fatigue testing on the 206 tail rotor blade. The custom-designed fatigue test fixture pulled, pushed and twisted the blades to simulate thousands of ground-air-ground cycles. The results of the fatigue test allowed the tail rotor blade an extended life of 5,000 hours, double the life of the OEM blade.
Documents:
All blades will be delivered with the Instruction for Continued Airworthiness (ICA), permissive statement, and if requested a 8130-3.
Warranty:
The manufacturer offers a three year warranty against manufacturing and material defects on its composite tail rotor blades. The warranty excludes damage due to erosion.
