Three piloted simulation studies were performed by the U.S. Army Aeroflightdynamics Directorate to examine the influence of maneuverability and agility on helicopter handling qualities and to provide an expanded basis for the dynamic response requirements in Aeronautical Design Standard 33C, Handling Qualities Requirements for Military Rotorcraft. The experiments focused on aggressive tasks such as air-to-air combat and target acquisition and tracking. The first experiment focused on yaw agility requirements in the form of attitude quickness and bandwidth. The second experiment focused on pitch and roll agility and maneuverability requirements in the form of bandwidth, angular rate, and attitude quickness. The third experiment focused on maneuverability requirements in the form of normal and longitudinal load factor envelope for both conventional and compound helicopters. Findings from the three studies are presented in the form of Cooper-Harper handling qualities ratings, pilot commentary, and task performance.
