Airworthiness and Flight Characteristics Test of the JOH-6A Light Combat Helicopter Configured with a Wire Strike Protection System
Abstract
A limited airworthiness and flight characteristics test on the JOH-6A Light Combat helicopter (LCH) configured with a wire strike protection system (WSPS) was conducted to substantiate the airworthiness. Tests were conducted at Edwards in four flights totaling 4.1 productive flight hours. The insufficient ground clearance of the lower cutter allows contact with the ground and is a deficiency. The handling qualities of the JOH-6A LCH with WSPS installed are essentially unchanged from the JOH-6A LCH without WSPS.
