Not what you're thinking.
In my line of work I occasionally have ride in or arrange for others to ride in helicopters. Personally I hate them. I don't like flying anyway and these are the worst way to do it. Anyway, now that my quarantine is over(as of this afternoon) I had to call on a local air taxi service to arrange for some rapid transportation (not for me) from the airport to a remote location. The were working on one of the 6 seater Bells they use All the time and I was shocked to see that the entire main rotor is held on by one, that's right, just one, single large nut. Known colloquially as the Jesus Nut for fairly obvious reasons.
I'm never getting in one of those things again.
