Attack Helicopter Evaluation, Blackhawk S-67 Helicopter

Abstract

The U.S. Army Aviation Systems Test Activity (USAASTA) conducted an evaluation of the Sikorsky S-67 Blackhawk helicopter during the period 25 May to 13 June 72. The S-67, a derivative of the Sikorsky S-61 (SH-3), was tested at the contractor's facility near Stratford, Connecticut. 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. Twenty six hours of flight time were required for these tests.
