Pilot's Handbook for the Flexible Wing Aerial Utility Vehicle XV-8A

Abstract

This handbook contains information necessary for safe and efficient operation of the U.S. Army Flexible Wing Aerial Utility Vehicle (FLEEP) based on existing knowledge. Flight tests of the vehicle have not been completed; therefore, some information contained herein is calculated or may be projected from information obtained during preliminary test flights. In view of the foregoing, frequent revisions, additions, and deletions will be made to the contents of this handbook. It is extremely important that the pilots and others responsible for operations of the vehicle become completely familiar with the latest operational information, even though it may not be incorporated in this handbook. Such information, not presently contained in this handbook, may be found in Army technical directives or contractor flight test reports.
