Abstract:
What altitude and temperature combination should be specified as a design point to ensure world-wide vertical flight capability for U.S. Army helicopters This question was answered in 1970 by Robert Bellaire and Lieutenant William Bousman for the development of the Armys 2nd generation of helicopters 1970-1981. An update of the 1970 study is in progress. This update includes recent climatological and terrain data collected and processed by the use of the U.S.A.F. climatological model to represent areas between stations for a specific area. Regions of the world included in the 1970 study, as well as new relevant world regions are included in the new study.
