Summary of Helicopter Airframe Testing in the Shipboard Environment

1977

Kolwey, Herman G.

This paper presents a summary of test results from several helicopter shipboard test programs. Data are presented from the HH-2D test on the FF-1052 class USS W.S.SIMS in 1970, the SH-2F on the FF-1052 class USS BOWEN in 1974, and the HH-3F on the WHEC Class USCG HAMILTON in 1975. Improvements in NATOPS manual information are highlighted in the areas of wind and/or airspeed limitations, cockpit indications, and helicopter performance information for both level flight and climb and descent. Shipboard deck strength and landing gear capabilities are addressed and a statistical data base is presented from which extrapolations to the sea state 5 environment may be made.
