S-92 Galliano
Just an observation re the S-92 behavior in the conditions cited:
The tail rotor was still rotating at proper rpm, and because of the inherent cross beam design, and the way the airfoils are mounted to the composite beams, and mindful that there is no pitch change hinge ( pitch change occurs thru physically bending the crossbeam ), the tail rotor is not at zero thrust. (Yes, I realize that the centering spring is not in the loop in this condition ).
Thanks,
