ABSTRACT A
This report summarizes a flight test evaluation of the vi "s Gof
auxiliary propulsion, wings, rotor solidity, and blade twist on %. fied
SH-3A helicopter airframe with standard S-61 dynamic components. A total
of 88 hours of tests explored performance, handling qualities, stresses,
vibrations and control ]oads for eight different configurations.
rThe primary objective of the program, to extend tests of the compound
configuration to a maximum safe speed of not less than 200 knots, was
achieved. :jevel flight and dive speeds of 211 and 230 kncts, respectively,
were reached. At 200 knots, rotor lift was varied from 25 to 75% of gross
weight.
Throughout the expanded, flight envelope, handling qualities and struc-
tural loads confirmed predictions with few exceptions. The tests confirmed
the ability of the articulated rotor system to operate satisfactorily in
this flight regime and provided a basis for future aircraft design -and for
42extrapolation to higher speed.

INTRODUCTION
Sikorsky Aircraft, with the support of the U. S. Naval Air Systems
COmmand and U. S. Ay.y Aviation Materiel Laboratories, has conducted a
flight research program to demonstrate an expanded flight envelope for
rotorcraft. -
The conventional pure helicopter has limitations in forward flight-
caused by stall on the retreating blade. Both the lifting and propulsive
capabilities of the rotor decrease with increasing speed. Compounding
"the helicopter, by adding a fixed wing and auxiliary propulsion is, there-
fore, a logical meaus of increasing speed potential. Theoretical research
and wind tunnel tests of articulated rotors have shown that compound
helicopters shoald be capable of practical speeds at least 100 knots faster
than the pure helicopter. The NIf-3A research program was prompted by the
need- for an aircraft of operationally useful gross weight to demonstrate
these improved capabilities and to confirm the theoeetical work under
full-scale conditions.
The Navy/Sikorsky SH-3A, whieh -. is chosen as the base aircraft for
"the research program, was designed for a cruise .4peed of approximately"135 knots. It was known, however, that the rotor system of ta.is aircraft
was capable of much higher speeds. In February 1962, the SH-3A, with a
special skid landing gear to reduce drag and weight, set a world's
absolute speed record of 210 miles per hour, or 183 knots. This waf- an
imprestive achievement for a pure helicopter, surpassed as of the date
of this report only by the SUD/Super Frelon using a similar system
designed by Sikorsky Aircraft. The speed record set by the SH-3A, however,did not repreaent actual mission capability. The aircraft was stiipped of
all equipment unnecessary for the flight, and payload was nearly zero.
-Aircraft vibration, blade vibratory stresses, flying qualities, and maneu-
vering capability at maximum speed were satisfactory for establishing the -A
record, but they were not satisfactory for operational use.

DESCRIPTION OF VEIIICLE
The NH-3A (Sikorsky model S-61F) high-speed research helicopter is
a modified SH-3A helicopter, Bureau No. 148033. A production SH-3A is
shown in Figure 1.
The military electronics, sonar, armament, shackles, hoist, sonar
seats, and automat!- flight control system were removed from the aircraft,
and the following changes were made:
WING: A wing of 170 square feet was installed in the "shoulder" position,
with the aerodynamic center slightly aft of the rotor centerline. A
full-span plain flap, capable of up or down deflection, was provided to
trim the wing lift independently of fuselage angle of attack. The flap is
controllable in flight through a "beeper" arrangement, with a normal rate
of 3 degrees/second and an emergency "up" rate of 30 degrees/second.
AUXILIARY PROPULSION: Two Pratt & Whitney J-60-P2 turbojets, mounted in
T-39 "Babreliner" nacelles, were installed on either side of the fuselage,
outboard of the landing gear sponsons.
TAIL CONE: A streamlined tail cone replaced the SH-3A aft fuselage. This
modification provides a 17 degrees flapping clearance between the main
rotor ~and the tail cone compared with 13 degrees for the SH-3A.
HORIZONTAL TAIL: A Cessna T-37 stabilizer with an added constant chord
center section was installed. The incidence was ground adjustable. A
"beeper" arrangement provided Sn-flight elevator control with a rate of
2 degrees/second.
VERTICAL TAIL: A large vertical tail with rudder was provided. The
rudder deflection was controlled in-flight by a "beeper" with a rate of
2 degrees/second.
4 ROTOR HEAD: The automatic blade folding herdware was removed to reduce
drag. A "beanie" fairing was installed on the rotor head.
3
Vi
[ • OT.L ('OO1I.FR" A CI-3W/VII-3A oil cooler system was incorporated in the
-C main rotor pylon area.
FUSELAGE: The aft cargo door, sonar well hole, and doppler antenna were
eliminated and skinned over. An emergency exit panel was provided on
the right-hand side of the cabin. The cockpit side windows were made
fixed but jettisonable. The cockpit glass was reinforced or, in some
areas, skinned over.- The chin lines of the flying boat hull were rounded
to provide a better streamlined nose shape.
LA1NDING GEAR: The open-well sponsons on the SH-3A were replaced with
more streamlined sponsons with doors which completely enrlose the main
gear in the up position. The landing gear tread was reduced from 13 to
10 feet.

Flight testing of the S-61F research aircraft was initiated on
May 21, 1965, following satisfactory completion of proof load, shake,
e and tie-down tests. A total of 113 flights involving 88.2 hours of
flight were completed during the test program which terminated on
May 8, 196T. Flights were conducted at a density altitude of 3000 feet,
except for the hovering, autorotation, and airspeed calibration flights,
which required specific altitudes. A suimary of the flights accomplished
during the program is given in Table I.
PRELIMINARY EVALUATION
For the initial phase of the test program the aircraft was configured
as follows: two J-60 turbojet engines, a horizontal stabilizer with +5
degrees of incidence, and five main rotor blades with -4 degrees of twist.
A photograph of this configuration is presented in Figure 2 and a general
arrangement in Figure 3. IF
" C Initial flights were conducted without auxiliary jet thrust to provide
pilot familiarization and preliminary evaluation of the basic characteris-
tics of the helicopter, including handling qualities, performance, stress,
and vibration levels.
THRUST AUGMEUATION
Following the preliminary flight test phase, jet thrust augmentation
was used to investigate higher speeds. Jet thrust augmentation was applied
by the following "standard" procedure.
1. Set the J-60 jets at idle.
2. Trim the aircraft in level flight at a specifiedforward speed, 100 percent NR, with the main rotorcollective pitch control as required.
3. T.Lock the collective pitch.
4. 7ncrease Jet thrust as necessary to attain higher* • ,,-vard speeds.
Q When this procedure was followed, a high collective pitch and hi'.
rotor shaft power level resulted from an initial high speed trim condition,

. ma.i.m. collec'yive pitch and rotor power resulted from an initial
trim speed near the minimum power speed of the helicopter (70-80 knots).
,To establish a low collective pitch, low rotor power condition, the air-
craft was first trimmed at 80 knots, and then the collective pitch was
lowered to the prescribed value while increasing jet thrust as required to
maintain speed and altitude.
COMPOUND CONFIGURATION
A photograph and general arrangement of the compound configuration
are shown in Figures 4 and 5. After initial flights in this configuration
for aircraft familiarization, several combinations of elevator and flap
settings were investigated to vary rotor/wing load sharing, and establish
the maximum speed of the configuration. A stabilizer incidence of zero
degrees was selected and used for the remainder of the program. A maximum
true airspeed of 221.8 knots (212.2 knots CAS) was achieved with a rate of
descent of 1300 feet/minute. The basic test procedure was the "standard"
procedure described above. During testing of the compound configuration
with -4 degree twist blades, several additional evaluations were completed,
including the following:
1. Investigations of a blade tip excursion phenomenon associated
with advancing blade Mach number and low frequency vertical
response characteristics of the fuselage.
2. Evaluation of asymmetric wing lift including in-flight photo-
graphs of tufts installed forward of the leading edge of the
wing.
3. Two stages of drag reduction at Flight No. 30 and Flight No. 40
with improved wing root 1, Ing, sealing of the gaps in the wing
flaps, and general clean-up. A maximum level flight true air-
speed of 210.9 knots (199.3 knots CAS) was achieved with this
configuration.
BLADE TWIST EVALUATION
The effects of blade twist on rotor stall characteristics, blade
9
trs• Tcls .....advancing blade compressibility, and aircraft performance
were investigated through tests of both -4 degree and -8 degree twist
main rotor blades. The aircraft configuration remained unchanged except
for the rigging changes necessary with the increased blade twist. Twist
effects were evaluated on both the helicopter and compound configuration
and with both 5 and 6 blades.
ROTOR SOLIDITY EVALUATION
The thrust augmented helicopter (without wings) was tested with both
five and six-bladed rotors to determine the effects of increased solidity
ratio on aircralt performance, handling qualities, vibration, and -,tress: levels.
In addition to establishing the boundary limits for the six-bladed
configuration, static and dynamic stability maneuvers as well as coor-
dinated turns were accomplished. Hover performance data were also recbrded
with both the -4 degree and -8 degree twist main rotor blades.
S C PURE HELICOPTER CONFIGURATION
The aircraft was configured for the pure helicopter tests to provide
baseline data by removing the jet engine pods and installing an aerodynamic
fairing outboard of thL sponsons. The general arrangement is shown in
Figure 6. Flight testing provided baseline data in the areas of aircraft
performance, handling qualities, vibration, and structural loads with both
the -); degree and -8 degree twist rotor blades. Flight conditions included
level flight, autorotation, and .dynamit stability maneuvers. Hover perfor-
mance data were also recorded with both the -4 degree and -8 degree twist
main rotor blades.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
OPERATING ENVELOPES-AIRCRAFT
The achieved operating envelopes of the eight aircraft configurations
are shown in Figure 7a through Th in terms of airspeed and rotor shaft
horsepower. In each case, the helicopter flight mode (jets idle or
removed as applicable) is presented as ý solid curve. In addition,
Figures 7a through 7f show points achieved with jet thrust augmentation
at various main rotor collective pitch settings. These data are also
listed with values of jet thrust and rotor lift and rotor drag in Table VII.
Factors which limited the aircraft operating envelopes are discussed in
the succeeding paragraphs.
Helicopter With Thrust Augmentation
a. Five Blades, -4 Degrees Twist
S) The envelope for this configuration is shown in Figure 7a.
With collective pitch settings at the 80 knot value or lower,
the high speed boundary was defined by available jet thrust.
The aircraft was flown in level flight autorotation at full
low collective at 162.3 knots CAS and 5200 pounds of jet
thrust.
At collective pitch settings above the 80 knot value, forward
speed was limited by retreating blade stall, indicated by
aircraft roughness and elevated control loads. Main rotor
transmission support stresses indicated elevated levels at
high shaft horsepower, but this condition was considered
hcceptable for short periods of operation.
b. Five Blades. -8 Degrees Twist
The envelope for this configuration :s shown in Figure 7b.
®r1
r•z inrc-ased b!-ade twist provided a greater rotor
propulsive force capability, permitting a slight expansion
of the high power portion of the envelope. A maximumspeed of 196.2 knots (207.0 knots TAS) was attained at the
100 knot collective pitch setting. Further increases in
collective pitch were limited by aircraft roughness, high
main rotor control system loads, and high stress levels at
the forward transmission support fitting. The aircraft
was also flown as an autogyro with full low collective, at
speeds from 85 to 167 knots CAS.
Compound Configuration
a. Five Blades, -4.Degrees and -8 Degrees Twict
The envelopes for these configurations are shown in Figures
7c and 7d, A maximum level flight calibrated airspeed of
199.3 knots (210.9 knots TAS) was achieved at the 130 knot
C.collective pitch setting, utilizing 5485 pounds of jet
thrust and 1668 main rotor shaft horsepower with the -4
degree twist blades.
In the compound configuration, the upper portion of the speed
boundary was extended to higher speeds compared to the
wingless configuration. This expansion was possible because
of the additional Ilt-. produced by the wing. Reduced rotor
lift requirements permitted additional rotor propulsive force
for a comparable degree of rotor stall. Main rotor control
loads and vibratory stress levels at the transmission attach-
mernt fittings showed considtrable reduction in magnitudes
as the main rotor loading was decreased. Available jet
thrust was the limiting factor in establishing the level
-' flight speed boundary for the compound configuration.

Six-Bladed Helicopter With Thrust Au-entati-.,n
The envelopes established for this configuration with-4 degree and -8 degree twist blades are presented
in Figures 7e and 7f. The n/rev, aircraft vibration
levels and transmission attachment stress levels were
considerably reduced with the six-bladed configuration
arnd presented no problem at high main rotor shaft horse-
power. However, the stationary scissors link of the
main rotor control system exhibited higher loads than
with the five-bladed rotor at high collective pitch
settings.
Full jet thriit was utilized with the 120 knot collective
pitch setting to achieve a maximum calibrated airspieed of'
204.5 knots (215.0 knots true airspeed) with -4 degree
twist blades. This condition was obtained utilizing 5690
pounds of jet thrust and 1390 shaft horsepower. Further
Q incr~ases in collective pitch were limited by the high
stationary scissors loads. With lower values of collective
pitch, maximum forward speeds decreased and jet thrust
became the limiting factor.
Pure Helicopter
Figures 7g and 7h present the level flight performance of
the pure helicopter configuration. Data points are shown
for zero stabilizer incidence and elevator settings of zero
and -2 degrees. As illustrated in Figure 7g, a power-limited
maximum level flight calibrated airspeed of 152.0 knots
(160.2 knots true airspeed) was obtained with the -8 degree
twist rotor blades while utilizing 2440 shaft horsepower
from the T-58 engines. Under similar flight conditions with
the -4 degree twist blades installed, a speed of 144.0 knots
d10

calibrated airspeed (152.3 knots tr-ae airapeed) was
C obtained us-Ing 2390 shaft horsepower.
HOVER PERFORMANCE
In addition to accomplishing the primary investigation of high
speed flight, a limited study was conducted to determine the effect
of each ,; t•he configuration changes on NH-3A hover performance.
The effect of blade twist is shown in Figure 8, which compares the
hover performance of five bladed rotors, having -4 degrees and -8 degrees
twist. The lower (solid) curve was derived from Sikorsky main rotor
test stand data for -8 degree twist blades. Experimentally determined
tail rotor power, fixed losses, and 3 percent vertical drag have been
added. This curve correlates well with the NH-3A hover data for -8
degree twist blades.
The Goldstein-Lock methoo, (Reference 1) was used to estimate the
increment in power due to the change in twist. This increment of 2%
C •in power was applied to the -8 degree data to predict the performance
of the -4 degree twist rotor shown in the upper cuare. The test results
appear to confirm the predicted penalty.
A comparison of the NH-3A hover data with 5 and 6 blades (of -4
degrees twist) is shown in Figure 9. The performance increment due to
the change in solidity, estimated by the Goldstein-Lock method, is also
shown. The five blade data were acquired in ground effect and corrected
to the OGE conditions. With six blades, the aircraft was flown at a
lower gross weight in order to hover OGE.
The vertical drag effect of the wing and sponson/engine installation
is shown in Figure 10, which compares hover data for the pure helicopter
(from Figure 8) and compound configurations. At constant power, a 6percent reduction was required in the compound helicopter gross weight.
This increment is the vertical drag contribution of the wing and
sponson/e;ngine installation.3 (
Aircraft drag has been estimated using measured values of jet thrust,
main rotor thrust and torque, and main rotor drag calculated by the method
of Reference 2. The lift-drag polars resulting from this procedure are
shown in Figures lla and b for the jet augmented helicopter and the full
compound configuration respectively. The improvement at 160 knots due to
the drag reduction program is approximately two to three square feet.
The drag reduction modifications performed after flight number 39
included the following items:
1. Enlarged wing-fuselage junction fairings.
2. Reworked landing gear fairing.
3. StreamLined tail rotor gear box nose section.
4. Covered various openings on the aircraft.
5. Elimination of various antennae.
Equivalent parasite area was found to increase with forward speed, parti-
ctlarly in the full compound configuration. The reason for this speed
•) dependency has not been firmly established, but a probable source of the
drag increase is spillage from the T-58 engine air intakes. A decrease
in accuracy of the rotor performance calculations with forward speed may
also contribute to the apparent drag increase; Correlation of the full-scale wind tunnel tests of an H-34 rotor system, reported in Reference 3,indicated that at lift and torque coefficients similar to NH-3A flight
test valuet;, the theory was increasingly optimistic with forward speed.
This would result in an apparent increase in airframe parasite area.
Table II presents the estimated parasite drag breakdown of the full
compound configuration at 160 knots. These data are based on flight
tests of the SH-3A and wind tunnel investigations, with analytical
corrections where applicable.
The J-60 nacelles as-installed were found to be producing nearly
three times the estimated drag. In addition, local separated flow, which
was observed on the wing and landing gear pod fillets and on the wing
15
I
flap, is believed to have ,-aused penalties as shown. It is notable that
r the di g of the pure helicopter (without wings and J-601 3) . reducd
20 percent below that of the SH-3A even though the rotorhead was unmodi-fied except for remjoval of blade fold parts, and the cockpit canopy
shape and engine inlets were left unchanged. Improvements in these
areas would be particularly fruitful at speeds above 200 knots.
-DIFFERENTIAL WING LIFT
During initial tests of the compound configuration, wing instra-
mentation indicated that the left wing lift was higher than the right.
This finding was substantiated by examination of lateral cyclic pitch
data. !'igure 12 shows that with the wing installed an increment of
left lateral stick, which increased with forward speed, was required to
Sbalance the wing rolling moment.
To further define bhe wing lift distribution, tufts were installed
on a wire mounted 8 inches forward of the wing leading edge. The test
installation is shown in Figure 13. Local angle of attack was deter-
mined from film records of these tufts, taken in various flight condi-
tions. Wing lift distributions were then determined from the experi-
mental angle-of-attack and two-dimensional characteristics of the wing
airfoil (NACA 63 2 A415). While there was some scatter in the data, it
was generally found that very low angles of attack were developed on the
inboard portion of the wing (above tbh sponson). In addition angles ofattack on the right wing were lower than on the left. The aircraft wasflown with wings level in a slight right sideslip. This resulted in
a higher lift on the right sponson, which probably caused the greater
lift interference on the right wing.
Sikorsky Aircraft recently conducted a U. S. Army AVLABS sponsored
investigation of rotor-wing fuselage aerodynamic interference effects,IReference 4. The results of that program were reviewed and spanwiselift distributions are compared for two flight conditions with the NH-3A
data in Figure 14. As in the flight test data, the wind tunnel results
indicate a slightly reduced right wing lift, although the effect is less
Supronounced.

It was concluded from the flight and wind tunnel tests that lower
right wing lift is caused by rotor induced velocity producing a higher
downwash under the advancing blade. In addition, on the 1131-MA, a large
interference- effect occurs on the inboard portion of both wings due to
the close proximity of the sponson (located directly below and forward).
The effect of differential wing lift on overall performance and control
characteristics is small, but it should be considered in the design of
an optimized compound helicopter.
OPERATING LIMITS - MAIN ROTOR
The envelope of achievable main rotor lift and propulsion (or drag)
at a given speed is bounded by allowable limits of collective pitch,
cyclic pitch, and blade flapping, and by allowable levels of rotor stall
and aircraft vibration. The operating regime for the rotor was predicted
in advance of flight test, using the theory of Reference 2.
In order to compare actual performance with predicted performance,
theoretically derived boundary plots have been constructed at three for-
ward speeds: 156 knots (u = .40), 175 knots .4 = .45), and 195 knots
(P = .50). For flight test data points near these three speeds (± 9 knots), fmain rotor lift and drag have been determined using measured values of
main rotor torque, rotor thrust, and jet thrust. The measured quantities
from representative flights, were used in combination with the theory of
Reference 2, to derive the aircraft wing/body lift-drag polars presented
in Figure 11. Using these polars, rotor propulsive force could be deter-
mined for all data points by subtracting jet thrust from aircraft drag.
For most flights, a direct measurement of rotor thrust was available.
This was checked against gross weight less wing/body lift derived from
wind tunnel data presented in Appendix I.
The flight test program was arranged to test the theoretical rotor
envelope as far as possible, using jet thrust to achieve speed pointsup to maximizm speed and changes in wing flap and elevator setti•,gs to
vary -iing/body lift. Figure 15 shows the predicted envelopes and the
points at which data were obtained at 156, 175, and .95 knots. Numerical
oJ
)1
values of the data are also listed in Table VII. Experimentally deter-
mined vibration and jet thrust limits are also shown.
The basic envelope of the rotor is determined by retreating
blade stall, indicated by the upper stall limits, and by the zero
horsepower (autorotation) line. Additional limits peculiar to the
NH-3A aircraft are the transmission rating of 2300 horsepower, collec-
tive pitch limits of 14.5 degrees maximum and 1.0 degree minimum. The
jet thrust limit, determined by the installed thrust and airframe
parasite drag, is also shown, because it constitutes a basic limit of
the NH-3A in level flight. With more thrust, or reduced drag, this
limit would shift to the right. The experimentally determined vibra-
tion limit is shown, when encountered, on a number of envelopes.
Further limits including main rotor flapping and longitudinal
cyclic pitch, may be predicted. However, these quantities are depend-
ent upon fuselage attitude, in addition to rotor lift and drag, and,
consequently are n3t shown in Figure 15 which is valid for any fuse--
lage attitude.
As speed increases, the predicted envelope shrinks due to the
decreasing lift and propulsive force capab'ility of the rotor. The•: flight test data follow this trend, covering most of the area within
the theoretical rotor envelopes, and lend validity to the use of the
charts of Reference 2 for. predicting rotor operating envelopes.
Those areas of the predicted envelopes which were not covered by
flight data were limited by factors beyond the scope of the theoretical
analysis. These factors are discussed in the following sections.
'C
• 18
• ,
* lapping
The design flapping limit for the NH-3A rotor system is t 8 degrees
relative to the shaft. This value is based on structural criteria for
satisfactory life of the main rotor shaft.
At most flight conditions flapping values were well beLow the
design limit. The only exceptions occurred when the rotor angle of
attack was excessively negative at relatively high fuselage attitudes.
Such conditions occurred when the rotor generated large amo-nts of
propulsive force necessary to overcome parasite drag at high speeds.
Large amounts of forward cyclic stick were then required, resulting
in high forward flapping relative to the shaft to maintain steady level
flight.
Control Limits
The control margins of the NH-3A were adequate in all configurations.
No control limits were encountered, except under the conditions
"described in the preceding paragraph, when the longitudinal stick for- tward limit was reached at high nose-up attitudes. This condition was
corrected by applying 2 degrees of down elevator. A more detailed
discussion of control characteristics is contained under FLYING qUAXITIES.
Blade Spread Phenomenon
During flight testing of the NH-3A under some conditions at high
advancing tip Mach numbers, the main rotor tip path split into two
distinct planes. The characteristics of this phenomenon were the
following:
!19
I. The tir, path plane spread was observed by the pilots and
was felt as a vertical bounce.
2. The spread was a maximum over the nose and was seen as two
distinct tip path planes.
3. Blade tip excursions between the twc planes of approximately
2½ to 3 feet were noted.
The blade spread increased with increasing Mach number.
5. A normal acceleration of the aircraft center of gravity
was recorded at 22 per rev.
6. Blade stress levels remained generally unchanged except
for a small amount of 21 per rev flatwise stress and ½ per
rev torsional stress peaking at azimuth 4 = 90 degrees.
7. There was no deterioratlon in control power or any tendenc r
for the aircraft to rotate about any axis.
3. On reducing rotor rpm rapidly, the tip path plane spread
ceased almost immediately. I
9. No physical damage resulted from the blade spread.
10. The blade spread could not be eliminated by fine tuning of
blade track or by close matching of tip caps.
The conditions under which blade spread occurred in the five-bladed
rotor are shown in Figure 16. The major parameter Is advancing tip Mach
number, ,tith blade spread occurring only at values above M = 0.92.
An example of the measured blade and airframe response under conditions
of tip spread is shown for several revolutions in Figure 17. The reversal
in the torsional sttess peak at 90 degrees azimuth suggested the existence
20
4 i I i !
I 'iI I! I
of blade pitching momentia of alternating sign at high Mach numbers. Although
t .ol data were not available for the 0012 airfoil at these condi-
tions, examination of data for other airfoils showed that a forward shift in
airfoil center of pressure probably occurs at Mach numbers above 0.7. 't
was not possible to determine the exact form of the pitchlng moment ch -
teristics, but the coefficients shown in Figure 18 were developed for use inI the blade analysis.
With these data, tne ½ per revolution characteristics of the S-61 blade
was predicted analytically using the Sikorsky/UAC Research Laboratories
Normal Mode Blace Aeroelastic Transient Analysis. Figure 19 clearly shows
the large calculated tip deflection occurring on alternating revolutions.
The angle of attack of the advancing tip alternates between plus and minus
1½ degrees on successive revolutions while the retreating tip angle of attackexceeds 20 degrees, and 4s thus stalled. As anticipated, the pitching
moment at the advancing tip is positive for one re'.olution and partly nege-
tive in the following revolution.
The reversal 5n sign of the advancing tip angle of attack during fsuccessive revolutions appears to be due to the first flatwise blade modeSwhich has a frequency c' approximately 2. per revolution at normal rotorsp~eed. This frequency is approxiate~ly coincident with the NH-3A fuselage
'irst vertical bending mode. Therefore the measured 2½ per revolution
vertical acceleration of the fuselage center of gravity was due to the
combined respouse of the blade fiatwise mode and the fuselage bending mode
at that frequency.
Anclytical studies shoved that the blade s "ead could .be eliminated,
either by deerzasing the positive moments at ligh Mach numbers, or by
increasing the blade first flatwise natural frequency to remove it from
-proximity to 23k per reolution . In addition it was found that the
occurence of stall on the retreating blade was not significant in the
mechanism of blade spr-ead. A more detailed analysis of the phentzcn-n
is presented in Reference 5.

During the NH-3A compound helicopter flight tests, control load data
were obtained on an articulated rotor over a wide range of speed and rotor
operating conditions. These data have been analyzed to establish the
effects of high speed and rotor unloading on the level of vibratory control
loads before stall and th.. rate of build-up beyond the onset of stall. From
this study, an empirical method has been developed for predicting control
loads.
The vibritory load in the rotating control system of conventional
helicopters generally follows the pattern sketched below:
Vibratory
Push-Rod
Load
Airspet
The level of Tushrod load is nearly constant up to some airspeed and
increases rapidly at higher speeds. Accurate prediction of the "knee" of
this control load cirve, and the load build-Up beyond it, is imprrtant in
order to define the load spectrum for control system design. In a pure
helicopter, this curve is generated at one value of rotor lift (aircraftI
Sgross weight), and the knee of the curve has been found to correspond
reasonably to the onset of stall defined by the lower stall limit criterion
of Reference 2 (bCo)/c, .o0).
In a compound helicopter such as the NH-3A, the rotor can be unloaded
to the degree nvessmy to delay or avoid retreating blade stall. A large
number of NH-3A control load data points were analyzed on the basis of the
stall criterion, and the points below the theoretical lower stall limit
have been plotted in Figure 20 as a function of advance ratio. The curve
through the points shows an increase in vibratory load level with increasing
-?2
advance ratio. The Point- rpesent a vid rarne of unstailed rotor lift
akni propulsive force conditions, demonstrating the basic influence of
advance ratio upon vibratory control loads.
Data obtained at conditions beyond the theoretical lower stall limit
would fall above the curve of Figure 20. These loads have been analyzed
in terms of the degree of stall penetration defined by the rise in rotor
torque:
ACQ/a = CQ/E':pC Q /CR
where
AC Q/a is the measure of the degree of stall.
CQ/OFZp is the measure C./a at a specific test condition.
-C /a C is the value of C Q/a ( given by Reference 2 ) at the lower
stall limit with the rotor operating at the advance ratio
and CD/o values of the test point.
Under stalled conditions, the control load increment above the curve of
Figure 21 is defined as ACmb. Tne effect of stall penetration upon
ACmb is shown in Figure 21. These data encompass the entire high speed
range and both - 4-degree. and -8-degree twist blades. The fairing provides
an approximation of the loads developed at high speedz over a wide range of
rotor loadings. A value of Cb can be defined at any operating condition
from the value below stall in Figure 20, the degree of penetration, ACQ/C
from Reference 2 and the control load build-up beyond stall from Figure 21.
To-verify this tecanique, it has been used T.o predict the control load
characteristics of the CH-53A and CH-3C helicopters. The results are compared
with flight test data in Figures 22 and 23. Good correlation has been
obtained for both rotor systems.
23
i- cz ' technique. when applied to the NH1-3A r otor operating envelope,
gives a set of control load contours which correspond to the test data. A
sample envelope at 175 knots (equivalent to the envelope in Figure 15c is
presented in Figure 24, which shows the effects of rotor lift and drag on
the control loads. Below the - 465 lb contour, equivalent to the lower
stall limit, the loads are nearly constant. The bigher contours indicate
the load build-up as stall is penetrated. It is apparent that rotor
lift level, and, to a lesser extent, the rotor drag have a stroi.. afluence
on control loads when the rotor is operating beyond the theoretical lowerstall limit. It should be noted that these loads correspond only to steady
level flight. zaring most man-uvers, with the rotor out of equilibrium,
control load levels are substantially lower than the values that would be
predicted, extrapolating from steady-state values.
A limitation encountered with the five-bladed rotor system was the
high vibrator? load,_ in the rotating scissors link of the main rotor control
system. Loads above the endurance limit were encountered when operating at
high forward speeds and high collective pitch settings. Rotating scissors
"loads obtained with the compound coniiguration and five-bladed rotor system
are shown in Figure 25. The loads increased rapidly with airspeed when
trimmed at the maximum 135 knot collective trim setting. This increase
closely parallels the build-up of push-rod loads and was apparently due toblade stall. With the wing removed greater rotating scissors loads wereobtained at an equl. lent collective pitch setting since the rotor was more
heavily loaded.
With the six-bladed rotor configuration increased loads on the rotating
scissors were anticipated, and provisions were made for the installation of
dual rotating scissors. Due to the load sharing between the two scissors,
vibratory stresses were reduced to low levels for all flight conditions. The
stationary scissors, however, which indicated lower loads with the five-bladed
coifiguration showed a substantial increase in vibratory load for the six-
bladed rotor system. This increase in load was noted both vth and without
auxiliary Jet thrust and became a limiting factor when operating with high
Q collective pitc< at high forward speed. Figure 26 shows that load levels
exceed the endurance limit of the scissors at high forward speeds with the 120
- _ knots collective Pitch setting. The approximate boundary imposed by these
loads was shown in Figure 151. Since this'limit did not seve.rc.y restrict
the flight envelope, no modifications were considered nec-ssary.
Blade Stress
The effect of rotor Lift and dr-Z upon blade stress characteristics
was investigated over a wide range of airspeeds. In addition, msain rotor
bladu twist and number of blades were vzried to evaluate the effects of
these parameters upon blade stress. Recent emphasis on high speed rotor
operation has made reduction of blade stress particularly important, because
stress, rather than power, may determine maximum allowable flight speeds.
In an articulated rotor, the maximum blade vibratory stress usually
occurs at the bottom rear corner of the spar at 60 to 70 percent span
(gage BR-7 for the NH-3A). Figure 27 is a composite plot showing the
effect of wings and auxiliary propulsion on blade stress of the five
blade, -4 degree twist rotor. The bands represent stress data from numerous
flights over a range of rotor operating conditions. The band is widest for
the full compound configurations due to the increased size of the available
flight envelope.
Without wings or jet engines, the vibratory stress level approached
6,000 psi at 140 knots (CAS). The addition of auxiliary propulsion to
the pure helicopter reduced the rate of stress ini'rease with airspeed -
apparently because of rotor unloading produced by the jet engine-sponson
assembly which developed considerable lift at high speeds. The greatest
stress reduction was obtained with the full compound configuration in
which the addition of the wing permitted significant unloading of the rotor.
The effects of rotor li•' zd airspeed upon vibratory stress of the
-4I degree twist blades are shown in Figure 28. Forty-six data points
were examined for speeds between 149 and 194 knots, rotor lift values of
4,300 to 16,000 lbs., and rotor drag of 900 to -800 lbs. For this range
of data, stress was determined to be a nearly linear function of speed
and rotor lift, but nct significantly affected by rotor drag. Consequently,
25
stress is seen to inorease, linaarly, with forward speed at a given lift
value and to be strongly afected by the degree Of unlouding. This stress
reducing effect of decreased rotor loading was shown in Figure 27 by the
3ow stre.-es demonstrated in the compound configuration.
The insensitivity of blade stress level to rotor drag is not unexpected
for the -h degree tvist blades. In full-scale wind tunnel tests of the
H-34 (Sikorsky S-58) rotor system, Reference 3, stress was found to increase
in zero degree twist blades with increased rotor propulsion, while -8 degree
twist blades developed reduced stresses as rotor propulsion increased.
Therefore, it may be concluded that -4 degree twist blades are relatively
insensitive to rotor propulsive 'orce.
The effects of number of blades and blac •wist were also evaluated.
Figure 29 shows that main rotor blade stress was lower with the six-bladed
rotor than with the five-bladed rotor having identical blades as expected,
because of the lower lift required per blade. The increase in twist from
-4 degrees to -8 degrees shifted the location of maximum stress inboard
C (from BR-7 at 70 percent span to BR- at 60 percent span) and increased
the maximum stress value. These data were measured with collective pitch at
the 80 knot position which, at speeds above approximately 120 knots,
resulted in the rotor operating at a drag condition. The increased stress
measured on the higher twist rotor under such conditions is in agreement
with the H-34 full scale wind tunnel test results discussed above.
Effects of Rudder Deflection on Tail Rotor Stresses
The effect of rudder deflection on tail rotor blade stress was evaluated
as a function of airspeed. Figure 33. shows NB-R vibratory stress versus
airspeed for 0, 10, and 20 degrees left rudder deflection. As speed increases,
the effect of the rudder increases, and the tail rotor thrust requirement is
reduced. Lower blade coning and flapping and, therefore, lower stresses on
the semi-articulated rotor result. During the flight, main rotor power was
reduced slightly between 0 and 10 degrees rudder settings. The data indicate,
however, thet a stress reduction of as much as 25-30 percent can be achieved
at constant power. Camber or positive incidence on an adequately sized
vertical tail should have the same effect.

SAIRFRAME VIBRAT I 'ON.Prior to flight testing, the NH-3A was shake tested with cad without
wings. These tests, described in detail in Reference 6, indicated That
the NH-3A vibration levels with a five-bladed rotor would be lower than
other S-61 series aircraft (SH-3A and CH-3C), primarily because the NH-3A
fuselage modes are further removed from 5 per rev. The response of the
NH-3A with the six-bladed rotor was predicted to be even lower due to the
lower rotor blade loads and the absence of fuselage resonances near 6 per
rev operating speeds.
Flight tests confirmed that NH-3A cockpit vibration levels were in
agreement with values predicted by analysis of shake test results. The
effects of number of blades, blade twist, wings, and jet thrust on vibra-
tion are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Effect of Number of Blades
Cockpit vibration levels of the five bladed and six-bladed configura-
tions are compared in Figure 32 for a range of flight conditions. With the
.-4 degree twist blades, the six-bladed system reduced both vertical and
lateral response. With the higher twist (-8 degrees) blades, the six-bladed
system provided little reduction in verticaJ response, but lateral accelera-
tions were reduced by 50 percent.
There are several reasons for the substantial improvement with the
six-bladed rotor. First, blade airloads generally decrease with higher
input harmonics. In addition, the blade response characteristics are such
that the six-bladed rotor transmits less of the applied loads to the
fuselage. The natural frequency of the second flatwise bending mode of the
S-61 blade is near 5 per rev. Blade response at this frequency providesconsiderable fuselage vertical excitation in the five-bladed rotor, but does
not feed through the rotor head in the six-bladed system.
Similarly, lateral and longitudinal fuselage excitations result from
n-i and n+! edgewise blade response. Since the S-61 blades have a fV rst
edgewise resonance near 4 per rev , the five-bladed rotor passes hi-h 5
27
Der rev later-• and long: tudinal loads to the fuselage. With the six-bladed
rotor, the 4 per rev response is not transmitted through to the airframe.
Finally, Figure 33 shows that two of the three important modes of the
NH-3A fuselage response are less sensitive at 6 per 'ev than at 5 per rev.
The higher vertical response to longitudinal excitation at 6 per rev may
explain the lack of difference in vertical vibration between the five- and
six-bladed rotors with the -8 degree twist blades.
Effects of Blade Twist
Flight test results on -4 degree and -8 degree twist blades, also com-
Dared in Figure 32, indicate small changes in cockpit vertical vibration
levels. Howev r, the cockpit lateral. levels, especially with the five-bladed
configuration, are significantly higher for -8 degree twist.
Transmission Support Structure Stresses
The transmission support fittings transmit loads from the rotor system
to the airframe. Conseq;•.ntly, stresses in this area are affected by the
same parameters which influence airframe vibration. Transmission support
fitting stresses are presented in Figure 34 which shows that the stress
levels with the six-bladed rotor were only a fraction of those with the
five-bladed configuration, especially at higher speeds. This behavior
parallels the cockpit lateral vibration characteristics shown in Figure 32.
Rotor Unloading
Figure 35 shows the effect of rctor unloading upon cockpit vibration.
The use of wings and auxiliary propulsion resulted in reduced cockpit
vibration at high speeds, primarily because of the delay or elimination of
"retreating blade stall. Analysis predicted vibration levels at 180 knots
in the compound configuration to be equivalent to those at 140 knots with
the rotor carrying the full aircraft weight. The predictions were based
on ne assrumption that vibration levels would be equal at the onset cf
stall in the two cases. The stall criterion of Reference 2 was utilized.
Fig'ure 35 confirms that this is a useful method for predicting the effect
o0' compounding upon vibration levels.

Tail Shake
Commencing with testing of the six-bladed rotcr confiu-.,ratio•, alateral tail shake was encountered. The tail shake was defined as a low
frequency, high displacement, lateral oscillation of the tail assembly,
believed to result, from turbulent airflow generated by the main rotor
impacting on the tail pylon area. Although the structural integrity of
the aircraft was not seriously affected, the vibration level increased
with speed and became objectionable at high forward speeds.
In an attempot to reduce the tail shake vibration level several
possible solutions were considered. Previou• testing with the five-bladed
rotor system had been accomplished using a main rotor head "beanie"
fairing to streamline the airflow from the main rotor and deflect it down-
ward away from the tail rotor. As an initial step this fairing was
modified and Installed on the aircraft. However, due to the damper instal-
lation, the fairing was installed approximately seven inches higher on the
six-bladed rotor system than the original installation. Since the effec-
tiveness of the fairing is a function of several factors including its
U diameter, thickness and distance above the rotor head, no significant
reduction in the tail shake was accomplished. As an additional modification
a skirt was installed around the circumference of the fairing to effectively
lower the installation. Subsequent flights revealed that only a small
reduction in the tail shake could be accomplished with this configuration.
- Simulteaeously, the effect of fuselage trim attitude on the tail
shake problem was investigated in an attempt to remove the tail. pylon from
the turbulent airflow. A c.g. change to 265.7 inches or san elevator setting
of + 4 degrees was found sufficient to eliminate the tail shake problem.
The latter solution was used for the remainder of the six-bladed flights.
It is apparent that to avoid tail shake in a high speed helicopter or
compound, the tur-ulent wake of the rotor head/pylon should be reduced as
much as possible, and that, further, the tail rotor and tail surfaces should
be located outside the rotor head wake if at all possible.

iiThe NH-3A compound helicopter was designed to provide a stab!- aircra't
for research and data acquisition purposes. To accomplish this the airframe
was equipped with a large empennage. The result of this design was a stable
aircraft, even without AFCS (which had been removed), and there was nounexpected loss of stability with speed. Flying qutlities were generally as
expected, and the influences of wing, jets, control surfaces and the
different rotor configurations were predictable.
V-N Envelopes
Although the full load factor capability of the NH-3A was not developed
during this program, sufficient load factors were generated to indicate themaneuver potential of the aircraft. Load factors achieved with the jet
augmented, five-bladed configuration are shown in Figure 36a. A maximum
of 1. 8 2g was obtained in a left turn at 120 knots indicated airspeed. The
minimum load factor of .05g was obtained during an entry to autorotation
at. 120 knots. Addition of the ,zing expanded the envelope to a maximum loadfactor of 2.24g, shown in Figure 36 b. This was obtained in a climbingturn at 160 knots. The addition of a sixth main rotor blade (without the
wing) also improved the load factor capability of the basic aircraft.
Figure 36c shows that a maximum of 2.2g was obtained at 120 knots. This
configuration achieved an indicated airspeed of 230 knots in a dive.
Theoretical Correlation With Flight Test
Flight test values of control positions and aircraft attitude agreed
well with theoretical predictions based on small scale wind tunnel tests.
F: ire 37 compares flight test data at 125 knots with predicted lateral
directional characteristics from Reference 7. The effect of the differen-
tial wing lift is apparent in the lateral cyclic stick data. This effect
was not considered in the preflight calculations and consequently near
zero sideslip there was approximately 1½ degrees more left cyclic pttch
than predicted. This difference had no adverse effect on the NH-3A, but
it should be considered in the design of future compound aircraft.
30
At speeds below 150 knots aircraft attitude aid control positions
were predinted using a digital computer program based on linearized rotor
aercdynamic theory. Figure 38 demonstrates the adequacy of this approach.
For higher speeds a combined analog-digital ("hybrid") computer was used
to obtain trim solutions. The hybrid computer program includes the aero-
dynamic analysis of the generalized rctor performance (GRP) program
(Ref. 2) which considers the effects of Mach number and reverse flow, and
has no small angle assumptions.
Figure 38 compares flight test with computed values of vnrious para-
meters. In calculating these parameters on the hybrid computer, jet thrust,
roll attitude, and collective pitch were specified as equal to the measured
values. Discrepancies in the generally good correlation appear in longi-
tudinal cyclic pitch, aircraft pitch attitude, and tail rotor pitch, at
high speeds. There was considerable scatter in flight test values of the
first two parameters, which could account for the differences. The dis-
crepancy in tail rotor pitch at high speeds is probably due to a high pre-
diction of main rotor torque and use of too lo.. a lift curve slope in the
• ) linearized analysis of the tail rotor.
Effect of Various Parameters on Aircraft Attitude and Control Positions
Effect of Drag Reduction
The effect of drag reduction on control positions, aircraft attitude,
and jet thrust is shown in Figure 39. There wras a signif~cant forward
shift in longitudinal stick position and an increase in flapping which
would produce anose-down pitching moment. kt 199 knots, two degrees of
downward elevator displacement were required to produce an equivalent
moment and return the stick to the position established prior to the drag
reduction modifications. This shift in longitudinal characteristics is
believed to be due to increased effectiveness of the horizontal stabilizer
resulting from improved airflow characteristics over the wing root and
landing gear fairing. A study of horizontal tail loading, determined from
stabilizer bending moment measurements, (Figure 40) confirms that increased
tail loads are the cause of the trim change. It was demonstrated, therefore,
0 that improved stability is provided by putting the tail surfaces in a clean
environment.

*I!-"- A coxr.:-otd conflguraticn included a high wing with a constant
~LK.Jence �ngle of zero degrees (a':foil reference chord lin,•). The wing
aerodynanic centor was lo.2atcd near to the basir aircraft c.g. in order to
•etý-p thi wing-fuselage pitching moment ,!hanges cauised by changes in wing
l":t to a minimum. Therefore the aircrafv. trim and dynamic response
cht.racteristicF; were not expected to change significantly with the addition
of the wing.
, igure hi shows the effect of wings on flight characteristics of the
Nli 3A. For all flights shown in this figure the aircraft was trimmed at
80 knots with jet thrust at idle. The collective remained fixed and jet
thrust was increased to achieve higher speeds. In the full compound
configuration, the wing was developing a positive lift at 80 knots, so less
co'!ectije pitch was required than in the wingless cir.fi,¢uration. The
differential wing lift effect cui be observed in these data. The differen-
tia' lateral 'tick displacement required to counteract the positive rolling
mement is apprcximately 18 percent at 180 knots.
Dynamic response to a longitudinal stick pulse was measured in flight
with and without the wing. The results of a ½ inch longitudinal cyclic
pull and return are shown in Figure 42. These data show little change in
response due to the presence of the wing. The small d.fferences may reflect
the difference in actual control input during the maneuver. The measured
response is compared with calculated values in Figure 43. The measured
c-ntrol input has been utilized in the analysis, and tie results show good
agreement both with and without the wing.
Although lateral characteristics were not directly investipated, pilots
rport that, with the wing, roll control power was somewhat diminished, blt.
that lateral stability was improved.
Solidity Effect
To dete:.'mine the effect of solidity, the NH-)A was flown witih both a

given speed and angle of attack. Figure 414 is a comparison of aircraft
attitudes and control positioni for the five-bladed and six-bladed config-
urations. The added profile power of the sixth blade increased rotor torque
at low speed so that more left pedal was required for trim.
Theoretical and experimental longitudinal response to a pull and ret'urn
were compared for the five-bladed rotor in Figure 143. A similar comparison
for the six-bladed rotor appears in Figure 45. Again the agreement isI! excellent for the first 10 seconds. Beyond that point, the matching of
control inputs in the calculation was stopped.
Effect of Twist
Main rotor blades of both -h and -8 degrees were test~ed on the five-
and six-bladed rotors during the test program. The twist variation caused
no changes in air-raft trim, control positions and stability, within the
accuiracy of the test data.
Effect of Horizontal Tail
The NH-3A horizontal stabilizer was designed to provide a stablepitching moment (Via lope, includi•ng the contribution of the rotor. With
the tail initially s .eL on this oasis, wind tunnel tests revealed a
serious reduction of tail effectiveness ove" a narrow range of ang.e of
attack where the tip vortices from the J-60 installation impinged upoi
the stabilizer. To eliminate this problem the span of the stabilizer was
increased to p-vide area outboard of the jet engines. The characte, lstics
of the NH-3A and standard SH-3A stabilizers are as follows.

The -ffect nf," 'h.± .n,.!reased stabilizer area upon dynamic response is
shown in Figure 14( for an aft stick pulse. The stick displacement was held
i'or the N1I-3A lon'eer than that for the SH-3A but with less amplitude,
g'ving a similar impulse. The maximum change in pitch attitude of the
NH-3A was only 6 degrees, compared co 20 degrees for the SH-3A. In addition,
changes in speed and vertical acceleration were smaller for the NH-3A.
Some problems were encountered with the larger empennage in hover
sideward and rearward flight. Pitch oscillations occurred in hover due
to intermittent partial immersion of the horizontal tail in the main rotor
downwash. This effect did not -ccur in calm air. The aircraft also had
reduced speed capabilities in sideward and rearward flight due to abnormal
airflows caused by the larger vertical and horizontal tails.
Effects of Elevator Deflection
The effectiveness of the large elevator is demonstrated in Figure 47,
which shows the effects of changes in elevator setting upon steady state
flight parameters. Figure 47a shows that a 2 degree negative (up) elevator
increment produced a much more nose-up attitude. This resulted in a
reduction cf the rotor lift requirement at constant collective pitch. The
co•bination of increased pitch attitude and increased rotor propulsive
force resul ed in a large forward stick motion and greatly increased flap-
ping, limiting speed to 140 knots.
The effect of a positive (downward) elevator deflection is shown
separately in Figure 47b. A 2 degree positive increment produced a
nose-down moment, allowing the longitudinal stick to move aft to produce
the required balancing morent. With the favorable stick position and
reduced flapping, speed :tas limited only by available jet thrust.
Effect of Rudder Deflection (SR)
The effect of rudder deflection on the compound helicopter flight
parameters is shown in Figure 48. Deflection values of -10 and -20 degrees
(left deflection) were chosen to counteract main rotor orque and provide
tail rotor unloading. Rudder defiecti i did not signif'-.antly affect any
flight parameters except rudder pedal.

CONCLUSIONS
1, The NH-3A test program demonstrated that the fully
articulated rotor system is well adapted to the
environment of compound helicopter flight -z speeds
up to at least. 230 knots, the maximum attained in
this program.
2. Available methods of analysis of oerform%.:•ee, stability,
control requirements, blade stresses, a:d vibration can
generally be applied up to at least 200 knots without
significant loss of accuracy.
3. Anticipated results which were confirmed by test
included the following:
a. Speeds in excess of 200 knots were achieved both with
and v' Thout a wing through application of auxiliary
propuision.
b. Blade stresses at high speed were acceptable and were
reduced by rotor unloading and by reduced blade twist.
c. Vibration levels at high speed were very acceptable
and were markedly reduced with the six-bladed rotor.
d. Inherent aircraft stability without any type of arti-
ficial stabilization was provided by an adequately
sized fixed horizontal stabilizer.
e. Blade stall and the associated buil'- up of control
loads was delayed by rotor unloading and by use of
increased blade twist.
f. Tail rotor blade stresses at high speeds may be signi-
ficantly reduced by providing anti-toraue f'rceb with
a vertical tail.

RECOWENDAT•' IONS
The folowiný areas are recommended for further study, based on the
results of this investigation.
1. The NH-3 4 research helicopter should be modified to permit
testing to higher speeds. Modifications required to achieve
speeds above 250 knots include the following:
i. installation of integrated controls to augment the
rotor when it is slowed and unloaded.*
b. Reduction of airframe parasite drag by fairing of
rotorhead, installation of new T-58 inlets and stream-
lining of aircraft nose, cockpit canopy and T-58 engine
housing.
c. Installation of increased thrust jet engines.
2. Serious study should be made of application of the 200-250
knot articulated rotor compound helicopter to operational
missions.
3. Study should be made of application of the six-bladed rotor
to the F-3 family of aircraft as a result of the very
favorable pilot reaction to the flight characteristics of
that configuration.
4. Further ý,.dy, including fli&.t tests should be conducted to
verify the findings of the tip spread analysis. Acquisition
of two-dimensional airfoil pitching moment characteristics
at Mach numbers from 0.7 to 1.0 is also desirable.
SThis has been accomplished at ftill rotor speed under U. S. Navy Contract
( i 000!9-67-C-0513.

1/12 SCALE MODEL WIND TINNEL DATA
Tests of a 1/12 Scale Model of the NH-3A air _,pe,shown in Figure 49,were conducted in the United Aircraft Corporation h x 6 feet Subsonic
Wind Tunnel prior to modifying the bailed SH-3A aircraft. Six-component
aerodynamic data were obtained over ranges of model pitch and yaw at a
constant tunnel dynamic pressure of 25.6 psf, corresponding to a nominal
tunnel speed of 100 mph.
This append'cx is intended only to provide the most significant data
used in evaluation and correlation of the NH-3A flight test results. Data
are presented in Figures 50 through 54 in terms of full-scale aircraft
forces and moments per unit of freestream dynamic pressure. All quantities
are in the wind axis system, through the aircraft c.g., and are corrected
for gravity and interference tares. Unless specifically noted, tail inci-
dancei flap deflection and elevator deflection were zero. The model was.f
equipped with a non-rotating simulated rotorhead. Streamlined fairings
were incorporated to provide smooth flow about jet inlet and exhaust
locations.
Figure 51 presents the effects of the wing and tail upon airframe
longitudinal characteristics over a range of angle of attack. Lift, drag
and pitching moment parameters are shown for the compound configuration,
the helicopter plus jets (compound with wing removed), and the helicopterwith jets, but with the horizontal stabilizer removed. The minimum para-
site area of the compound configuration was measured as 18.5 square feet.
This was initially corrected to 26 square feet to account for protruber-
ences, leakage and details whose drag could not be accurately assessed on
the small model. A further discussion of the actual drag was presented in
Aircraft Drag, page 15. The pitching moment curve of both configurations,
with the stabilizer installed, was highly stable. •'igure 51 presents
similar dat'. without discussion, showing the effects of flap deflections
O of 0, 10, 20, and 30 degrees.
123
II
A
Figure 52 presents the effect of elevator deflection and Fiur
shows the effect of stabilizer incidence upon longitudinal charact(
The small differences which may appear betu.een data of similar config k-
tions in Figures 50-53 represent the wind tunnel measurement accuracy,
because a separate run was conducted in each case.
Figure 54 shows the effect of yaw angle upon side force, rolling and
yawing moment pardmeters. The yawing moment is neutral or slightly
unstable at small angles of yaw, probably because of the reduced vertical
stabilizer effectiveness in the rotorhead wake. The positive contribution
of the tail rotor makes the full scale aircraft directionally stable.

APPENDIX II
TEST iNS12FUVIEWLIKI I0N
Test instrumentation was installed to record flight test data on
handling qualities, performance, rotor loads, stress, and aircraft
vibration for all configurations investigated. Dual instrumentation
was required in some areas to provide simultaneous indications to both
the pilot and the oscillograph/photopanel recorders, or to provide
back-up for the principal parameters. Instrumentation was also provided
to monitor critical structural loads. A description of the basic
instrumentation parckage is provided in the following sequence:
1. Apparatus2. Calibr-4ions •
3. Measurements
4. Accuracy
APPARATUS
Primary recording devices, installed in the cabin area, consisted of
two 50 channel light beam photo-recording oscillographs and a 24 hole
photopanel, utilizing a variable speed 35 mm camera. Signal conditioning
for the transducers was provided by standard bridge balancing modules and
potentiometer adapter boxes.
A nose boom was utilized to obtain airspeed, altitude, fuselage angle
of attack, sideslip angle, rate-of-climb and static pressure. The
original aircraft airspeed system probe was also operational and used as the
primary system when the nose boom was removed.
Wire-wound poteniometers were coaxially mounted to sense the angular
motions of the longitudinal, lateral, collective, and rudder pedal controls.
Similar installations utilizing angulators measured flapping, feathering, and
lag angles of the master main rotor blade. Tail rotor flapping and pitch
were measured with wire-wound potentiometers.

Vibrations were. sensed by ve.ocity pickups and accelerometers.
Vertical acceleration at the center of gravity was measured with a load
factor type linear accelerometer. Pit•-h and roll attitudes were
measured with a vertical gyro. Pitch, roll, and yaw rates were measured
with rate gyros.
Stress and load transducers consisted of" electrical strain gages
wired as conventional single active gages or as 2 or h gage tension or
bending bridges. Strain gages normally installed on the leading edge of
the main rotor blade spar were removed to the trailing edge to prevent
unnecessary drag effects. Internal wiring was provided for the instru-
mented main rotor blade during fabrication. Wing bending moment measure-
ments wert made by strain gaging Ghe fore and aft wing spars at two span-
wise locations. Wing lift was determined from the difference in bending
moments between these two locations.
CALIBRATIONS
Instrumentation items were laboratory calibrated prior to installation
C .n the aircraft. Preflight and post-flight calit-ations were made for all
oscillograph measurements with the exception of the velocity transducers
which only required periodic calibrations. Aircraft rigging checks were
made throughout the test program as requ;.red by main rotor blade changes.
All data presented herein are corrected for instrument and installation
errors.
Airspeed position error calibrations were made for the aircraft and
nose boom systems to calibrated airspeeds in excess of 200 knots. The
calibrations were conducted using the measured speed course method. Results
of the airspeed calibrations are shown in Figure 55.
Turbojet thrust determination was made by utilizing the engine manu-
facturer's test cell calibration data, which included engine pressure ratio,
net thrust, corrected fuel flow, and corrected engine speed.
Calibrations of control positions, blade motions, gyros, accelerometers,
Sand pitch and yaw vanes were straightforward and will not be discussed here.
The control system rigging is prebented in Table III.

x Values of main rotor thrust wert oblari•d by diL'eet m.easurement of
axial. strain in the maid rotor shaft. Laboratory calibrations that
included effects of shaft bending and torsion on the thrust showed
repeatable, linear results. As testing proceeded, however, it v. and
that the influence of main rotor gearbox temperature resulted in a shift-
ing of the zero thrust reference. Further investigation of the problem
was undertaken with a temperature probe in the main rotor gearbox to
establish a relationship between the thrust readings and the temperature
gradient. Results of this calibration indicated that five minutes of
hovering at moderate temperatures and 10 minutes in cold weather would be
sufficient to stabilize the thrust reading and provide a good zero
reference. All subsequent flights required an appropriate hover and zero
reference calibration prior to the actual data acquisition flight.
Laboratory calibrations of the wing spar bending moments in terms of
wing lift, with the center of pressure at various spanwise and chordwise
locations, showed repeatable results. However, upon installation of the
wing on the aircraft, it was found necessary to replace the attachment
bolts with tapered pins to ensure symmetrical distributions of wing loads
among the four wing attachments. Even then, a continuing erratic
behavior of the wing lift data remained. As a result, the wing/body lift
was determined most reliably from the direct measurement of rotor shaft
thrust in combination with gross weight.
MEASUREMENTS
Oscillograph and photopanel measurements recorded during the test
program are given in Tables IV and V. The individual paramneters recorded
in each of the configurations are noted by an asterisk (*) in the Tables.
ACCURACY
The estimated accuracies of the measurements are presented in Table VI.
These accuracies are based on best engineering estimates at the conclusion of
the test program.
