3.1.6 SPECIAL CONFIGURATIONS

Towing and ground handling
When hitched to a tractor the tow bar enables the
maneuvering of the aircraft to areas where it could not
normally taxi to with the rotor spinning.
The tow bar is equipped with a shear link to protect the
nose and landing gear unit from excessive loads.
(Speed of towing limited to 10 km/h).
A hand-bar is provided for delicate maneuvering.

Picketing and long-term outdoor parking

Two tie-down rings on frame 1715 (A) and 2 rings on the main landing gear spindles (D) are used for normal picketing.
Two tie-down rings on frame 6815 (C) and two others on frame 5295 (B) reinforce normal mooring.

Hoisting
When the aircraft is stripped to its empty weight and the
main rotor blades are removed, a sling may be attached to
the main rotor head for hoisting purposes.
Ballast weights must be placed in different positions
(according to options) to maintain longitudinal attitude.
Two ropes are used to guide the aircraft during hoisting
maneuvers.

Air Intake Stub Frame
This streamlined bulkhead (1) is made of NOMEX and composite material. Both engine air intakes are fitted with
standard screens (2) which may be equipped with optional multipurpose ice and sand filter intakes.
The lower portion of the stub frame is internally partitioned to ventilate the engine bays through lateral air inlets, with a
central air scoop for cargo bay heating and ventilation.
The stub frame slides forward on rails after opening three latches in order to provide access to the engine compressors.

3.2.4 TAIL STRUCTURE
The tail structure supports the anti-torque rotor drive components and related
items (rotor control linkage, hydraulic and electrical lines).
Support fittings are provided on the skin panels for the installation of radio-
navigation antennas, to secure blade folding poles and to accommodate
the tail rotor access ladder.
3.2.5 TAIL STABILIZER

The horizontal stabilizer is a trapezoidal airfoil with an asymmetric variable profile. It is fixed onto the tail pylon by spar
and shackle.
A constant profile leading edge slat is mounted on support ribs.
The stabilizer consists of 5 metal sandwich ribs onto which the upper and lower light alloy are bonded.
The carbon fiber spar tube (RTM) is bonded to the rib cutouts. Bore-scope ports are provided on the lower skin panel.

The side doors which provide access to the cargo bay are flush with the airframe profile when closed.
Each door comprises a carbon framework covered by two carbon skin panels. The internal space accommodates the
locking mechanism. Two windows are fitted into the upper portion of the door. The door is mounted on rollers which move
along fixed airframe rails. The upper rollers and lower roller are installed on hinged spring-loaded arms that move the
door out and away from the fuselage as it slides forward.
