Interlocking Gears for Clocks Give Army Helicopters More Power

The Army Research Laboratory helped figure out 20 years ago a revolutionary way to increase transmission power in the Apache helicopter without increasing the transmission's size or weight. That innovation is split-torque face gear technology, and it's now inside the Improved Drive System of the new Apache Block III helicopter that will begin delivery in October 2011.

With split-torque face gear technology, helicopters can now have more power without becoming heavier or bigger. With increased power density, the helicopter's drive system now has advanced from a horsepower of 2,828 to 3,400, with growth potential, and the helicopter can fly longer, at higher altitudes carrying almost 200 pounds more weapons with a fuel tank -- thanks to, essentially, basic scientific research begun by ARL decades ago.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
