NEW Composite Tail Rotor Blades:
For the Bell 206A & 206B Series JetRanger Helicopter
New to the market, composite tail rotor blades available for Bell 206 series helicopters:
The AMT-206-1 composite tail rotor blade is a direct replacement for Bell 206A and 206B series helicopter tail rotor blades.
The AMT-206-1 tail rotor blade (TRB) has a non-symmetrical airfoil section and incorporates a swept tip. The TRB is primarily fabricate from uni-directional Graphite (carbon fibre) and Aramid (Kevlar™) continuous fibres suspended in an epoxy matrix and is fitted with a nickel abrasion strip on the leading edge. The abrasion strip is bonded on using a urethane adhesive.
The AMT-206-1 composite tail rotor blades offer a 30% cost advantage with twice the life over the standard 206 tail rotor blades. The blades also offer a higher margin of safety due to their increased strength and higher thrust for an equivalent power setting as well as a very substantial noise reduction which will be very popular for helicopter operators that fly in and around noise sensitive environments such as national parks and built up areas.
AMT-206-1 T/R Blade Features:
- 5,000-hour time life, twice the life of the standard OEM blade
- 30% lower hourly operating costs compared to OEM blades
- Higher margin of safety due to increased strength
- Corrosion resistant and impervious to saltwater
- Replaceable bearings and abrasion strips
- Significant noise reduction, 68% reduction over OEM Blades
- Improved ground clearance
- Tested for over 51 million cycles
