This book was released on 1964 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stability and control flight tests were conducted on the OH-4A helicopter to determine the stability and control characteristics throughout the flight envelope for the unarmed (clean) and armed configurations. Ninety-three test flights were conducted for 75:30 hours productive test time. All test data were hand recorded from sensitive instruments or recorded on an oscillograph. The quantitative test results and qualitative pilot's comments indicate that the OH-4A complied with most of the stability and control requirements of MIL-H-8501A.

Nagata and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engineering flight test of the OH-6A helicopter equipped with the XM-27E1 armament subsystem was conducted at Edwards Air Force Base, California, by the US Army Aviation Test Activity. The objective of the test was to determine what effects the armament subsystem had on the performance and stability and control characteristics as compared with an aircraft without the armament subsystem. The testing consisted of 10.25 productive test hours and was conducted from 2 October 1967 through 24 October 1967. Performance degradation resulted from the drag imposed by the armament subsystem. The specific range at 2400 pounds gross weight decreased by 8 percent. The stability and control characteristics were essentially unchanged by the addition of the armament subsystem. During firing tests, there were no adverse control problems. However, during flight at 12 degrees left sideslip at 105 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS), the upper right windshield imploded. The sideslip angle should be limited to 8 degrees or less at 100 KIAS until the cause of the implosion can be determined. Noise level and vibration tests should be conducted during firing with the 'doors off' configuration. The performance data should be incorporated into the operator's manual. (Author).

This book was released on 1966 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of an engineering flight test of the UH-1B/540 rotor helicopter equipped with the XM-16, XM-21, or XM-3 armament subsystem in conjunction with the M-5 armament subsystem. The test was conducted by the U.S. Army Aviation Test Activity (USAAVNTA). Overall test objectives were to verify safety of flight, develope data for the operator's manual, and assure that aircraft modifications did not degrade the handling qualities or limit the operational characteristics of the subsystems. Specific objectives were to determine quantitatively the effect of the armament subsystems on stability, control and performance of the aircraft, to determine the rocket launcher jettison characteristics, and to define the usable limits of the flight envelope for safe jettison of the launchers. Testing was conducted at Edwards Air Force Base, California, and at sites in Fort Irwin and Bakersfield, California. A total of 152 flights for a productive flight time of 116.4 hours was flown on aircraft S/N 64-14105 between 13 November 1965 and 5 May 1966. This included 30 jettison flights and 35 firing flights.

This book was released on 1967 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army Preliminary Evaluation of the UH-1C/XM-30 weapon system was conducted by the U.S. Army Aviation Test Activity at Edwards Air Force Base and Fort Irwin, California. The degradation in level flight performance attributed to the weapon installation was defined and no objectionable flying qualities were encountered during firing or non-firing tests. The armed mission capability of the helicopter was degraded by high levels of stress, vibration, blast, and noise during firing and restrictive limitations were imposed by gun malfunctions and system gross weight. The reliability of the weapon system was poor and should be improved prior to further Army testing.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stability and control tests were conducted on a production model OH- 58A helicopter to evaluate its flying qualities in the unarmed configuration and in an armed configuration with the XM27E1 weapon system. Limited testing was also performed to evaluate the helicopter slope landing capabilities and flying qualities with skis installed. Human factors and maintainability characteristics were noted throughout the evaluation. The testing consisted of 89 flights which totaled 85.3 hours of productive flight testing. Maintainability of the helicopter was excellent throughout the test program.
Download or read book Engineering Flight Test of Uh 1b Helicopter Equipped with Xm 47 Antipersonnel Mine Dispensing Subsystem written by Manfred Reif and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A limited engineering flight test was conducted to provide sufficient engineering data for a safety-of-flight release for the UH-1B helicopter equipped with the XM-47 antipersonnel mine dispensing subsystem. An additional objective was to provide sufficient performance and stability and control data to update the operator's manual data to be used for UH-1B helicopters equipped with the XM-47 subsystem. Testing consisted of 42 productive flight hours. When the XM-47 mine dispensing subsystem was installed on the UH-1B helicopter, antipersonnel mines could be safely dispersed within the recommended flight envelopes. In cases of emergency the dispensers could be safely jettisoned within the recommended envelopes. Jettisons during entry into autorotation and in close proximity to the ground should be avoided. The flying qualities of the UH-1B were essentially unaffected by the installation of the XM-47 mine dispensing subsystem.

Passinisi and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part 5 of the AH-1G helicopter Phase B test was conducted at Yuma Proving Ground, Yuma, Arizona, from 6 through 9 February 1968 by the US Army Aviation Test Activity, Edwards Air Force Base, California. The test consisted of firing the XM-28 chin turret, with one 7.62 millimeter automatic gun (M-134) and one 40 millimeter grenade launcher (XM-129) to determine the weapons system's effect on the stability and control characteristics of the helicopter. No safety of flight restrictions resulted from firing this system within the flight envelope. Correction of four deficiencies is mandatory to provide acceptable mission effectiveness and safety. These deficiencies are the inadequate forward visibility from the pilot's cockpit due to the N-9A gunsight installation, the lack of a fire warning system, the lack of a standby generator for IFR flight, and link jam malfunctions of the minigun during symmetrical pull-out maneuvers. Fifteen shortcomings, for which correction is desirable, limit mission effectiveness. The reliability of the weapons system was questionable and service type testing should be conducted prior to system acceptance. Correction of the deficiencies is mandatory and should be tested prior to deployment. Shortcomings, for which correction is desirable, should be corrected on a high priority basis. (Author).
