AlphaOneSix Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 They are on the rotor blades. Section 1: Inboard top side of blade spar Section 2: Outboard top side of blade spar Section 3: Leading edge of blade spar Section 4: Underside of blade spar Each section is heated for 38.5 (+/- 2) seconds. The total cycle time, therefore, is 154 seconds. Each section gets heated once per 154 second cycle. The tail rotor blades are heated in a similar fashion, but they only have 2 sections. One section is the "top" of the tail rotor blade spar, and the other section is the "bottom". When sections 1 and 3 of the main rotor are being heated, so is section 1 on the tail rotor. When sections 2 and 4 of the main rotor are being heated, so is section 2 on the tail rotor. Each section gets heated twice per 154 second cycle.
