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

This book was released on 1994 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern helicopters usually incorporate many engineering systems (including pilot aiding systems such as autostabilisers and flight directors) which are essential to the safe and effective use of the helicopter. Where the helicopter can be endangered by failure of a system (or of one of its units), that system is termed flight safety critical. In general, the use of those systems should not incur a higher probability of hazard to the helicopter than that considered acceptable from considerations of structural or mechanical failure. In assessing the suitability of a helicopter for its intended mission(s), it has become increasingly important to consider the effects of the various systems provided. In particular, assessments of the implications of systems performance and failures derived from calculation and ground tests should be validated by flight tests. This paper seeks to establish the general principles applicable to the testing in flight of any flight safety critical system, with emphasis on certification rather than system development. It does not deal with the testing of particular systems, but it is hoped that readers will find the principles described readily applicable to specific cases.

Download or read book VFR Helicopter Obstacle Rich Environments Test and Evaluation written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first in a series of two letter reports detailing the specific test and evaluation requirements, scenarios, data processing techniques, and government/industry comments concerning pilot performance in an obstacle rich environment. The second report will develop and recommend the requirements for a piloted helicopter visual simulator to support data collection in this effort. This report details the issues and the development of test and evaluation criteria necessary to evaluate the psychological effects of an increasingly obstacle rich VFR heliport environment on the ability of a pilot to operate. In addition, it addresses a conceptual application of target level of safety, to assist the FAA and individuals concerned with heliport planning with regard to the proximity of obstacles to a VFR heliport. The effect of an increasingly obstacle rich helicopter environment on pilot performance will be tested by collecting definitive performance data through the use of a piloted, visual helicopter simulator. Results will be verified with actual flight testing. This study is divided into two phases. Phase 1 is further divided into four tasks: (1) test and evaluation requirements, (2) simulation requirements and facilities, (3) simulation test plan, and (4) pilot briefing materials. The product of task 3 is the completed test plan. The product of task 4 is pilot briefing material that explains their role in the test and participation requirements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary goal of the Helicopter Visual Segment Evaluation Phase II (HVSE II) project was to assess the feasibility of changing the policy and/or provide guidance for approval of special Point-in-Space (PinS) visual segment descent angle (VSDA) from a maximum of 7.5 degrees to 8.13 degrees. Flight tests were used to perform the feasibility assessment. Current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) PinS policy allows a maximum VSDA of 7.5 degrees. For VSDA in excess of 7.5 degrees, a special assessment requiring Flight Standards Service approval considering specific helicopter equipment and capabilities, pilot training, and demonstrated capability is required. The FAA S76A helicopter was used for the flight tests. HVSE II testing included 16 industry subject pilots who completed 186 data collection flights conducted at the FAA heliport."--Page ii

Book excerpt: A limited performance evaluation of the TH-55A helicopter was conducted in order to determine compliance with contract performance guarantees. Sixteen productive test flights were conducted. All performance guarantees investigated during this test were equaled or exceeded. Flying qualities were investigated qualitatively during the performance tests and were satisfactory except for excessive longitudinal trim change required during autorotational entry. (Author).
