INTRODUCTION
The Model 412 helicopter is a twin turbo-shaft engine helicopter; designed for high performance, low
maintenance, and maximum versatility. The advanced design four-bladed rotor system permits a
smoother and quieter operation along with the advantage of higher speed.
MAIN ROTOR
The main rotor is a four-bladed, soft in plane, flex-beam yoke type with blade folding capabilities.
Elastomeric bearings are used to eliminate conventional lubrication requirements. The corrosion free
fiberglass blades are designed for high aerodynamic efficiency and long component life.
Number of Blades............................................................................................................................ 4
Diameter.................................................................................................................................... 46 ft.
RPM 100% (6600 Eng. RPM).............................................................................................. 324 RPM
MAIN DRIVESHAFT
The main drive shaft is connected by splined couplings between an adapter on the engine reduction
gearbox and the input drive quill on the transmission. Flexibility of the couplings is provided by a floating-
splined method of attachment to the shaft. This method of attachment is used to accommodate
movement of the transmission on pylon mounts. A spring in each coupling assists in centering of the
shaft during operation and tends to extend the couplings when the shaft is removed for maintenance.
Shaft couplings are attached to the engine adapter and the transmission input drive quill by bolts.
Main Driveshaft Rotational Speed (100%)......................................................................... 6600 RPM
POWERPLANT
The power plant is a PT6T-3D twinned turboshaft installation, consisting of two identical power sections
and a common reduction gearbox. The power sections drive the output shaft to the transmission through
separate reduction gear trains in the combining gearbox.
Model Number..................................................................................................................... PT6T-3D
Max. Continuous Power..................................................................................................... 1600 SHP
Takeoff Power................................................................................................................... 1800 SHP
Single Engine OEI Power................................................................................................... 1025 SHP
Output (100%)................................................................................................................... 6600 RPM

INTRODUCTION
FORWARD FUSELAGE
The fuselage consists of two main sections, the forward section and the aft or tailboom section. The
cabin has accommodations for 15 passengers, including the pilot and co-pilot in the forward crew
compartment and 13 passenger seats in the aft cabin section or passengers/cargo compartment.
Conversion from passenger to cargo configuration is easily accomplished by removal of the seats.
Without seats, the cabin affords approximately 220 cubic feet of cargo space.
LANDING GEAR
The landing gear is a skid-type assembly consisting of two main longitudinal tubes connected by two
arched crosstubes. Each longitudinal (skid) tube is fitted with replaceable wear shoes along the bottom,
a towing ring on the forward end, crew boarding step, electrically actuated passenger step, and two
eyebolts for installation of the ground-handling wheels.
TAILBOOM
The tailboom assembly includes the tail rotor driveshaft covers, vertical fin, elevator, baggage
compartment, and tail skid. The tailboom assembly is attached to the forward fuselage section by four
high tension bolts.
ELEVATOR
The elevator consists of two separate aerodynamic surfaces to increase controllability and lengthen
center of gravity range.
ANTI-TORQUE SYSTEM
The tail rotor drive system consists of six shafts, one tail rotor drive coupling, four bearing hanger
assemblies, and two gear boxes connected in line between the transmission tail rotor drive quill and the
tail rotor.
TAIL ROTOR
A single two-blade controllable pitch tail rotor is located on the right side of the tail rotor gearbox. It is
composed of two assemblies, the hub and the blades, and is driven by the tail rotor gearbox output shaft.
Blades are all metal construction and are attached by bolts to pitch change bearings in the hub yoke.
The tail rotor hub is delta hinge mounted to provide for automatic equalization of thrust on advancing and
retreating blades. Control links provide equal and simultaneous pitch change to both blades. The tail
rotor counteracts torque of the main rotor and provides direction heading control.
Number of Blades...................................................................................................................... 2
Diameter........................................................................................................................ 8 ft. 7 in.
RPM 100% (6600 Eng. RPM)......................................................................................1660 RPM

INTRODUCTION
ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM
The electrical system is 28 volt D.C. single conductor system with the negative leads connected to the
aircraft structure which is used as common ground. D.C. power is supplied by the generator portion of
the two starter-
generators operating in parallel feeding the D.C. buses. A 24 volt nickel cadmium battery can supply
selected buses if both generators fail. Two 450 volt-ampere, solid state inverters supply 115/26 volts
A.C. single phase, 400 hertz power to the A.C. buses.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
Standard type flight instruments are installed in the helicopter as basic equipment to comply with the
requirements of scheduled air carrier day or night operations under Visual Flight Rule conditions.
VENTILATION
Cabin ventilation is provided by nose inlet ducts and a single inlet on the roof located under the
transmission fairing.
LIGHTING
The helicopter has the required lights installed for VFR night operations, plus additional lighting
equipment for utility and convenience purpose.
