UH-1 Ground Handling Wheel Adapter Bars for OH-58 Helicopters. Prototype Design, Fabrication, and User Test.

Abstract

In response to the Army's need to move OH-58 helicopters over difficult terrain areas, USALWL devised and developed the UH-1 Ground Handling Wheel Adapter Bar System for OH-58 Helicopters. The system was feasibility tested by USAATB, Fort Rucker. It was user evaluated by MASSTER and 1st Cav. Div. at Fort Hood, and by 101st Airborne Div. at Fort Campbell. Conclusions indicate that the UH-1 Ground Handling Wheel Adapter Bar System can provide the Army with a safe, practical, and suitable means for ground handling the OH-58 helicopters over unprepared terrain.
