CH-47B Height-Velocity Evaluation036470

Abstract

The CH-47B height-velocity testing was conducted at Bakersfield and Lake Tahoe, California, during the period 21 October 1968 to 7 February 1969. A modified version of the power deficiency parameter method of prediction provides an accuracy similar to that with which the tests can be conducted and data recorded. The resulting height-velocity diagrams were obtained with a specialized technique and may not be suitable for inclusion in the operator's manual. Thus, there is a need to define a suitable pilot technique, make the necessary calculations and accomplish the necessary verification testing.
