Design and Development of Helicopter Transparent Enclosures,

Abstract

This report describes a program for the development of design, acceptance and test criteria for helicopter transparent enclosures. In addition, a comprehensive Helicopter Transparent Enclosure Design Handbook will be prepared. The effort is being accomplished in three major tasks: (1) Establishment of Preliminary Criteria; (2) Verification of Criteria by Analysis and Test; (3) Preparation of Design Handbook. In general, criteria shall be substantiated by published data and historical acceptance. Where no criteria, or where conflicting criteria exist, analysis and tests are being performed. Emphasis is placed on structural substantiation methods and the airframe/transparency interface.
