Book Helicopter Test and Evaluation

Download or read book Helicopter Test and Evaluation written by Alastair Cooke and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-02-12 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although a number of texts on helicopter aerodynamics have been written, few have explained how the various theories concerning rotorborne flight underpin practical flight test and evaluation. This book combines theoretical information on aerodynamics, stability, control and performance with details of evaluation methodologies and practical guidance on the conduct of helicopter flight tests. For each topic the relevant theory is explained briefly and followed by details of the practical aspects of testing a conventional helicopter. These include: * safety considerations * planning the tests * the most efficient way to conduct individual flights Where possible typical test results are presented and discussed. The book draws on the authors' extensive experience in flight test and flight test training and will appeal not only to professionals working in the area of rotorcraft test and evaluation, but also to helicopter pilots, rotorcraft designers and manufacturers and final year undergraduates of aeronautical engineering

Book Operational Sceanarios for the Initial Operational Test and Evaluation of the RAH 66 Helicopter

Download or read book Operational Sceanarios for the Initial Operational Test and Evaluation of the RAH 66 Helicopter written by Eric G. Helm and published by . This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Army is undergoing force structure and doctrinal changes to meet the evolving threats facing the nation. To fulfill operational requirements brought about by these changes, Army aviation is developing the RAH-66 Comanche. As a precursor to the Comanche being fielded in operational units, the aircraft must perform to standard during its Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOTE). The Army must fashion the IOTE to ensure the Comanche meets the requirements of the future force. To do this, test scenarios must focus on placing the aircraft in environments and situations in which it will be expected to operate. Test scenarios must be kept technically and tactically sound to provide accurate and realistic information. This thesis identifies scenarios which encapsulate future requirements brought about by the Army's migration to the Objective Force. The scenarios have been developed to test and evaluate operational effectiveness measures of performance. The scenarios reflect the early stages of FCS due to Comanche being the first system tested. As doctrine and the systems that comprise FCS continue to evolve, it is recommended to ensure the scenarios remain updated to reflect the most current information and equipment. Recommendations also include methods to alleviate resource constraints.

Book Test and Evaluation of Aircraft Avionics and Weapon Systems

Download or read book Test and Evaluation of Aircraft Avionics and Weapon Systems written by Robert E. McShea and published by IET. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 1041 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text and practical reference for all personnel involved in avionics and weapons system evaluation and testing, in the air and on the ground. Compiled from 25 years of experience and methods from the National Test Pilot School in Mojave, California, this book has been reviewed by a dozen voluntary experts from the military and industry to ensure all critical components are properly covered. It includes "war stories" from actual evaluations and exercises at the end of each chapter, providing instructors with the ability to reinforce critical concepts. This second edition has been updated and expanded by three chapters to include UAV technology, operational test and evaluation and night vision systems and helmet mounted displays and the chapter exercises have also been expanded and revised.

Book The Captive Helicopter as a Training Device

Download or read book The Captive Helicopter as a Training Device written by Paul W. Caro and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research objective was to determine the effectiveness of a new device concept for helicopter contact flight training and the usefulness of such a device for predicting performance during subsequent flight training. The device was a commercially available captive helicopter attached to a ground effects machine. Two experimental groups of trainees received 3 1/4 or 7 1/4 hours of device training prior to primary helicopter training. In comparison with control groups, both device trained groups (a) were significantly less likely to be eliminated from subsequent flight training for reasons of flying deficiency; (b) required less flight training to attain the proficiency required to solo the helicopter; and (c) received higher grades during early training. Trainees who performed well on the training device tended to perform well during subsequent flight training. Instructors using devices such as this one need not be proficient in the helicopter used for subsequent flight training. (Author).

Book Modeling and Simulation Support for the Operational Test and Evaluation of a Tactical Airborne Reconnaissance System

Download or read book Modeling and Simulation Support for the Operational Test and Evaluation of a Tactical Airborne Reconnaissance System written by Kevin J. Schmidt and published by . This book was released on 1999-12-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's decreasing defense budget has forced the military to reduce its spending on operational testing of new equipment, among many other areas. Reduced testing has forced evaluators to focus their attention on possible sensitive issues prior to and during testing of new equipment. The Simulation, Test, and Evaluation Process implemented in 1995 to help reduce testing costs has been an integral part of the test and evaluation process. This thesis develops stochastic simulations to suggest the sensitive aspects of operating and maintaining a system of mobile reconnaissance platforms, specifically a helicopter force, (more specifically the RAH-66 Comanche) prior to and during actual testing. The simulation can also be implemented to compare the effectiveness of different mobile reconnaissance platforms to augment the conduct of side by side field testing of actual platforms. This simple, stochastic, event driven simulation may be used to conduct sensitivity analysis on system design and operational issues, including attrition, for mobile reconnaissance platforms in order to focus the attention of the testers and evaluators on influential parameters during testing. It may also be used to inform force design decision makers.

Book Evaluation of a Moving graph Instrument Display for Landing Approaches with a Helicopter

Download or read book Evaluation of a Moving graph Instrument Display for Landing Approaches with a Helicopter written by R. Earl Dunham and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A flight-test evaluation has been conducted of an instrument display for VTOL all-weather landing which included a moving-graph pictorial presentation for slope guidance. The instrument display included a moving-map presentation for course guidance, a large (4.5-inch-diameter (11.43-cm)) attitude indicator, and moving-pointer airspeed and vertical-speed indicators. The tests were conducted under simulated instrument flight rules conditions in landing approaches with a helicopter along a 6 (degrees) glide slope at an air-speed of 30 knots.
