Reliable heavy-life helicopter with economical range and pay-load can be constructed with current technology and manufacturing facilities; influence of vehicle size on its power plant, and integrated trends of power plant, transmission system, and rotor system are used to show interplay of benefits, and penalties as aircraft size increases; operational and human factors aspects of use of large rotors are discussed to show how they influence application of large helicopters for military and civilian uses; findings of 20-ton-payload study are extrapolated to predict 50-ton vehicle possessing several important design features still in conceptual or development stages.
