My Posts This: Topic Forum | Sorry - I don't have any pics for you but I can tell you what a driven
tail hub does....
Basically it allows the tail rotor to continue turning even though your
engine has been brought to full idle. It is primarily used for autorotaions
where having tail authority allows the pilot to control the yaw of the heli
while descending.
A normal tail rotor drive system will disengage once the throttle has
been brought to idle.
