A STUDY OF HANDLING QUALITIES REQUIREMENTS OF WINGED HELICOPTERS

Abstract

A study was conducted to establish a basis for the mission task performance oriented approach to flying and handling qualities specification. Interviews with Army personnel were used to determine typical Army missions, the related critical mission tasks, and task performance tolerances. To complete step 2, a list of items, applicable to winged helicopters, from MIL-H-8501A, MIL-F-8785, AGARD TR-408, and USAAVLABS TR 65-45 was compiled, and tabulated according to the specifications format proposed in the study. Flight test data were to be used to establish the relationship between design parameters and flying qualities. However, unavailability of data precluded the determination of the relationship between flying and handling qualities and design parameters.
