Equipamento para rebocar Helicopteros


Explanation:
Uma das dúvidas do iniciado na técnica de aviação é a aparente fragilidade dos apoios do motor ao helicóptero : Como é que quatro "simples" parafusos conseguem suportar um motor de milhares de quilos, "rebocar" um helicóptero de várias toneladas pelo ar, "aguentar" manobras violentas, aterragens bruscas e missões de combate.

disagree  Antonio Costa (X): "Um motor de milhares de quilos". Esse é maior do que aquele de Itur.Será que você ainda está pensando no Titanic? O helicóptero é que usa o equip. para arrastar coisas.

Guincho


Explanation:
Será que ninguém notou a frase de contexto "helicopter equipment or device" (equipamento ou dispositivo de helicóptero)?

"Tow", além de rebocar, também significa puxar e arrastar.

No meu entender o "towing equipment" é aquela "geringonça" que tem um cabo de aço ou corda acoplado a um motor que serve para levantar coisas e pessoas do chão até o helicóptero, ou serem transportadas penduradas no cabo.

Posso estar enganado, mas mesmo diante do pouco contexto, acho que é isso. Se alguém tiver uma idéia melhor, por favor me corrija.

Abraços.
