Helicopter Performance Computer Programs.

Abstract

Document describes helicopter performance computer programs which are capable of analyzing the flight performance of typical helicopter configurations. Areas of flight performance include specific excess power, sustained and instantaneous turn rate, and maneuver capability. Performance output can be displayed graphically as well as numerically. These programs were written in FORTRAN and use three supporting subroutines. This report describes the analytical development and logic development for the programs. In addition, it includes a user description and complete listing.
