The S76 tail rotor assembly consists of two paddles attached to the Tail Gearbox, each paddle assembly consisting of a common spar with two blades attached to it - none of which can be disassembled in the course of normal operation and maintenance. It will be very interesting to understand the failure mode in this incident.
