Multi-Helicopter Heavy Lift System Feasibility Study

Abstract

A tandem nose-to-tail configuration was selected, and a detailed study of the configuration was made to assess its feasibility and identify potential problem areas. A feasible heavy-lift vehicle is postulated with a predicted payload capability up to 18.7 tons which is recommended to be carried forward to flight evaluation.
