a nose piece which is attached to the cabin roof, a center duct which is mounted to the top of
the fuel tanks, and a large airscoop which is mounted on the wraparound cowl behind the
trans-mission. This airscoop funnels the cooling air around the transmission and into the
cooling fan. The large airscoop blends into the tail rotor driveshaft cover. (Ref. Figure 22-1)
