Attack Helicopter Evaluation, Model 309 KingCobra Helicopter
Abstract
The US Army Aviation Systems Test Activity conducted an evaluation of the Bell Helicopter Company Model 309 KingCobra during the period 5 June to 6 July 1972. This testing was accomplished in support of the Attack Helicopter Requirements Evaluation performed by the Attack Helicopter Task Force. The KingCobra, a growth version of the AH-1G, was tested at the contractor's flight test facility at Arlington, Texas. Performance, handling qualities, and mission suitability were evaluated to provide data for use in determining advanced aerial fire support system effectiveness model inputs, validating material need requirements, and validating contractor claims.
