This is a picture of the main rotor retention
nut on an AH-1W Cobra helicopter. When properly torqued down, it holds
the two main rotors in place. Were it to fail, the rotors would come
loose and the aircraft would plummet to the earth. In fact, it is so
strong and so secure that the eye on top of the nut can be used to
connect a line from which the helicopter can be lifted up and carried
wherever it needs to go in the event that it becomes unable to fly on
its own.
Perhaps not surprisingly, it is also known as the
"Jesus Nut."
