Evaluation of the UH-1D/H Helicopter Crashworthy Fuel System in a Crash Environment

Abstract

The primary objective of the program was to obtain empirical data to evaluate the effectiveness of the UH-1D/H helicopter crash-resistant fuel system when subjected to a severe but survivable crash environment. These data would reveal any specific weaknesses which still remain in the system that would cause a serious fire hazard. Since the performance of the various system components is the key to the effectiveness of the system, the evaluation of these components was the secondary objective of the program.
