ANALYTICAL REVIEW OF MILITARY HELICOPTER FLYING QUALITIES
Abstract
The report is directed at analysis and review of the current military helicopter flying qualities specification, MIL-H-8501A, and of the relevant published literature. The analytical approach rests primarily on servo-analysis of closed-loop piloting tasks and secondarily on open-loop response considerations, and such analysis and considerations are used as the basis for correlating and 'explaining' the available data. This process delineates those flying qualities criteria (either in the specification or proposed in the literature) which are valid, and establishes bases for additional experiments in inadequately explored critical areas. The results are specifically applied to an itemized critique of MIL-H-8501A (excluding autoration, miscellaneous, instrument flight, and vibration characteristics).
