ENGINEERING FLIGHT TEST OF THE AH-1G (HUEYCOBRA) HELICOPTER EQUIPPED WITH THE XM-28 CHIN TURRET WITH TWIN XM-134 MINIGUNS. PHASE B. PART 3

Abstract

Firing tests were conducted to determine the effects on the stability and control characteristics of the AH-1G helicopter caused by firing the twin XM-134 minigun 7.62 machine guns in the XM-28 chin turret. Firing the two XM-134 miniguns in the XM-28 turret does not cause any objectionable aircraft reactions which would restrict the flight envelope. The deficiencies and shortcomings detected during this test are discussed.
