Rack ‘em and Stack ‘em
Dear Rotor,
Drive shaft storage space becomes
a problem when more than one Black
Hawk is in phase maintenance.
The drive and tail rotor shafts are
expensive and laying them on tables
can put them in harm’s way. If they
roll off the table,
BAM
-that’s the
end of a shaft! Leaving them on the
floor is not an option, either. It’s an
accident waiting to happen.
We’ve come up with a wall-mounted
rack made of 1-in thick plywood that
can be installed on any wall.
Mechanics can store removed shafts
on the rack to protect them from
damage.
Also, remember the top rack opening
is for the larger tail rotor diameter
drive shaft.
Here’s the rack plan we use. Any
maintenance shop can make it.
