Kinematic Investigation Hughes Helicopter 7.62mm Chain Gun

Abstract

A kinematic study of the Hughes Helicopter 7.62mm Chain Gun was performed to determine the power required to operate the weapon and loads on the stud roller due to the various components of the weapon. Using a 24-volt battery system the gun drew up to 60 amperes to start and operated on 22 amperes. The stud roller carries a load up to 497 Newtons.
