Engineering Flight Test of the AH-1G Helicopter Hueycobra. Phase B. Part 2

Abstract

Part 2 of the AH-1G helicopter Phase B test was conducted at Bell Helicopter Company, Fort Worth Texas, from 8 September to 26 September 1967 by the US Army Aviation Systems Test Activity, Edwards AFB, California. Part 2 comprised the Phase B testing of the basic configuration (XM-157 rocket launcher outboard on each wing). Earlier tests (Phase B, Part 1) were of the Scout (XM- 157 outboard, XM-18 inboard each wing) and Hog (two XM-159 rocket launchers on each wing) configurations. The prototype aircraft for this test was similar to the one previously tested. This test emphasized stability and control testing in the basic configuration.
