Okay,Army guys,

How was the tail rotor of the AH-1S/F Cobra any different from that on
an UH-1H Huey? Any difference in chord or diameter?

Thanks,

HW

Thanks for that. I know the tail rotor changed sides.

Question is did it get bigger or broader when you got to the S model.

The 42 and 90 degree gearboxes were upgraded to the 212 series. I don't
remember whether the tailrotor itself was enlarged but I think it was,
because it was definitely drawing more power.
