The over-all XC-142A program was on schedule. Evaluation of the new configuration propellers (2FF) was accomplished on the No. 1 aircraft with good results. In addition to prop stress measurements in the hover and conventional flight modes, the aircraft accomplished a number of taxi tests over simulated bumps on the runway. The remainder of the period was devoted to readying the aircraft for delivery. The No. 2 aircraft progressed satisfactory through portions of repair work, leading to delivery. The No. 5 aircraft underwent clean configuration shakedown early in preparation for delivery. The No. 3 aircraft remained in a dormant status, pending a repair decision. The No. 4 aircraft returned to flight status. Flights were conducted primarily for extraction chute tow tests to determine extraction loads at various speeds.
