WESSEX MK. 3 XM 834 (GAZELLE MK. 165) ENGINE HANDLING AND PRODUCTION ROTOR SPEED GOVERNOR PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Tests have been carried out on a production Wessex Mk. 3 XM 834, mainly to evaluate the characteristics of the production rotor speed governor and with particular reference to increased production tolerances in the system. The results were satisfactory although datum shifts were experienced due to temperature, and governor and throttle control hysteresis effects. It is considered that these effects would not cause undue difficulty in controlling the engine and rotor, but some recommendations are made with a view to improving the governing system.
