2-22. BEAMS. The beams include one beam on the
crown panel and three beams on each side panel. The
CH-47D has 13 beams on the bottom panel. The beam
on the crown panel extends from sta 320 to 340 on the
cl of the fuselage. The beams on each side panel are
those at wl plus 29.0 and minus 16. Those beams at wl
plus 29 extend from sta 160 to 440 and support the
troop seat backrests and litter poles. The beams at wl 0
extends the same distance. The beams at wl 16 extend
from sta 140 to 482 and support the troop seats. The
beams on the bottom panel are the cargo tiedown
adapter beams, forward landing gear support beams,
rescue hoist cutout watertight beams, and the partial
beams in the forward part of the cabin fuselage structure
assembly. Also the CH-47D has a forward and an aft
cargo hook beam. The cargo tiedown adapter beams
are at bl 0, sta 120 to 320 and 320 to 486, bl 20, each
side of the fuselage; and bl 44, each side of the
fuselage. The forward landing gear support beams are
between sta 240 and 260 each side of the fuselage.
The rescue hoist cutout watertight beams extend from
sta 300 to 380, each side of the cutout. The partial
beams are between sta 160 and 200, at bl 45.4, each
side of the fuselage. The beams on the bottom panel
are sealed for watertightness.
a.
Negligible Damage. Damage to fittings is
limited to nicks and scratches whose depth, after
burnishing, does not exceed 10 percent of the thickness
of the fitting. Burnished areas must dear radii, holes,
and fasteners, a minimum of 3/4 inch. Refer to TM 55-
1520-240-23 for wear tolerances on support fitting
114S2834 and the cargo hook beam track 114S5063.
b.
Reparable Damage. Refer to TM 55-1520-240-
23.
2-23. STIFFENERS. The skin stiffeners are located on
the bottom panel and the bottom side panel. The
transverse stiffeners on the bottom panel, except those
encompassing the rescue hatch cutout, extend the full
width of the panel (hinge to hinge) and are formed Zee-
sections of 7075-T6 dad aluminum alloy. The
longitudinal and transverse stiffeners on the bottom
panel, reinforcing the area of the rescue hatch cutout,
are extruded sections of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The
longitudinal stiffeners on the bottom panel are section of
Alcoa 83264 or AND10136-2006. The transverse
stiffeners are sections of Alcoa 83264 or 55794. The
stiffeners on the bottom side panels are sections of
AND10134-1005, AND10134-1003, Alcoa 67580, or
22477.
