Sorry I was away for sooooo long 
But I wasn't asleep at the switch either 
A cutaway drawing of the rear transmission for the CH-47 Chinook Helicopter. This one is located in the rear pylon between the two engines. Power feeds from the shaft at the left, upwards through a double-reduction planetary gearbox to the drive shaft on top. From their it goes to the rear rotor.
This is an EXTREMELY critical component. Any failure of any part would result in loss of the aircraft O___o!!! The degree of workmanship and sheer amounts of anal-retentiveness towards this component could never be over-emphasised
That drive shaft is transmitting over 6,000 Shaft horse-power, and over 4,000 foot lbs. of torque! O____o!!
This drawing was based off from an exploded view drawing in a parts manual
