A study was conducted to determine the economic aspects of helicopter operation for commercial purposes. Concepts of specific cost and cost per kilogram provide the basis for the analysis. The fundamental characteristics of helicopters which determine its mission and profitability are discussed. Specific areas investigated are: (1) fatigue life of components, (2) noise reduction, (3) vibration reduction, (4) optimization of rotary wings, and (5) application of composite materials for helicopter construction.
