Army Preliminary Evaluation I. RV-1D/Quick Look II Aircraft

Abstract

The United States Army Aviation Engineering Flight Activity conducted a limited handling qualities evaluation of the RV-1D/Quick Look II aircraft, manufactured by Grumman Aerospace Corporation. The aircraft was tested at the Grumman facility in Stuart, Florida, on 16 and 17 July 1974. Testing included stability and control and miscellaneous engineering tests necessary to verify the flight envelope. No deficiencies were found during these tests. Two shortcomings were identified: inadequate stall warning in the power-approach and landing configurations, and the degraded single-engine performance and maneuvering capability caused by the inabilitey to jettison the Quick Look II antenna pods.
