consists of a main transmission (main gearbox), a
main drive shaft, and a series of tail rotor drive shafts
with two gearboxes. The main transmission includes
input drive with freewheeling provisions if no clutch
assembly is required, output drive, and main rotor
mast. The main drive shaft between the engine and
main transmission drives the main transmission. A

transmission input drive on the other end. The clutch
assembly provides freewheeling (Figure 5-3). On
systems not requiring a clutch assembly, the shaft is
attached to an adapter on the engine output shaft on
one end and to the freewheel coupling of the transmission
input drive assembly on the other end.
Clutch Assembly
The clutch assembly allows for a smooth engagement
of the engine to the power train system. The clutch
is used to stop possible blade damage and shaft
shearing due to sudden torque loading. Some
MAIN DRIVE SHAFT clutches are designed to let the engine start and run
The main drive shaft (Figure 5-2) transmits torque
from the engine to the main transmission. The shaft
is a hollow, statically balanced tube. In addition to
required fittings, bolts, nuts, and washers are
provided with flexible splined or rubber couplings
for installation between the engine and transmission.
On systems using a clutch assembly, the main
shaft is attached to the clutch on one end and to the
without the rotor turning. This is very useful for
warm-up and maintenance procedures. Due to the
free power system in all gas turbine engines used by
the Army, a clutch assembly is not needed on aircraft
with gas turbine engines.
The centrifugal clutch assembly is used only with
engines of low horsepower output. When the engine
speed is increased, centrifugal force throws the

clutch shoe against the inner surface of a drum,
completing the drive to the rotor. This type of clutch,
because of its slippage at low and medium speeds,
generates heat, which is harmful to the life of clutch
parts.
Freewheeling Unit
All rotary-wing aircraft have a freewheel unit located
between the engine and the main rotor or rotors.
Three basic types of freewheel units are roller, sprag
freewheel unit is to free the power train drive system
from the drag made by the dead or idling engine. By
doing this the freewheel unit makes autorotation
possible. This allows an aircraft to land safely
without engine power. All types of freewheel units
generally work in the same manner. They provide a
positive lock of the power train drive system to the
engine at any time engine speed equals rotor speed.
When rotor speed is faster than engine speed, the
freewheel unit unlocks the power train drive system
