Helicopter FUEL Economy Evaluation
Description / Abstract:
Purpose:
The purpose of this standard is to provide a method of evaluating helicopter fuel economy which accounts for the significant technical variables in helicopter and powerplant design.
Helicopter Operational Modes:
This method evaluates helicopter fuel economy for two modes of operation: best range and maximum endurance. The best range mode is important for patrol, inspection, search or cargo delivery missions. The maximum endurance mode is important for traffic control, antisubmarine warfare or other loiter-type missions.
Data:
The helicopter Pilot's Handbook is the only data source required. The Best Range Chart, Maximum Endurance Chart and the specified helicopter weight empty are used.
