Abstract:

COMAP is a Comprehensive Mission Analysis Program. Its purpose is to facilitate the calculation of mission performance and to establish required engine size for rotary wing aircraft. The program is available for use on the IBM 7090 and UNIVAC 1108 electronic data processing systems. Among the important calculable factors are 1 performance of any pure rotary wing, compound or semi-compound aircraft for any logical tactical mission sortie with either a known or rubber engine 2 mission performance trends as a function of mission variables, rotor geometry or rotor rpm and 3 general aircraft performance information independent of a specific mission. Aircraft performance data may be input directly or calculated by the program using generalized rotor performance tables generated by the Sikorsky Generalized Rotor Performance Method.
