Different dimensions of Main Rotor Blade (MB)

2 comments

Good day to all! I am one of the personnel maintaining UH-1H and we have 30 UH1s in our fleet. Does anybody have ideas or references why the Main rotor (metal) blades we procure and use has differences in weight and length? We are encountering problems on the matching of Main rotor blades as this will cause aircraft vibration. Some blades have different locations on where the trim tab is located. We will greatly appreciate your response. tata_bambi@yahoo.com

Answer to blades. Check the blade part number The only two blades for the standard UH-1H are 204-011-250-113 metal blade and 205-015-150-101 composite blade as far as military blades.

Blade part number 204-011-001-15 used on the shorter 204 B,F air- frame. Part number 540-015-001-7 was used on 204 C & M gun ships. There were UH-1's made all around the world. I have no information on possible other blades.

Do not be confused by weights attached to the inboard end of the blade as they will differ. These weights are used to balance the blade to a master blade at certified blade repair shops and the manufacture so that they balanced span and cord wise. Each blade will be of different overall weight but within tolerance. This of course only works if the blade is serviceable.

Hope this helps       Pete

    Main Rotor part number suffix

    we have a set of 205-015-150-101 blades. One of the blades has a "D" suffix at the end of the part number. What does the "D" mean. Can you fly it with a regular 101. Where would I find the approval or nonapproval verbiage

    T53 Vane Blade Help

    I have recently found a bunch of New Old Stock T53 Vane blades marked Huey Engine 1967. The part number is 1-140-211-16 - some with 16N. I have looked through a ton of T53 manuals but cannot find this part. If anyone has any information or a diagram showing this piece I would be very grateful and would be happy to send you a vane blade in return for your help. Attached is a photo of one. Thank You RT

    UH-1H Fuel Quantity Issues.

    Anyone have better troubleshooting information than the Army TM's? I am trying to find out why the fuel gauge goes to zero. I have checked all wires to the cannon plug. I have 115 volts to the gauge plug and the ground is good. Coaxes look ok but dealing with 1964 wiring. Any other guidance would be helpful.
