Test were conducted to determine the performance of CV-2B airplanes when utilizing surfaces and en vironments similar to those encountered during the Air Force Project Rough Road Alpha. The tests indicate that the takeoff and landing performance of the CV-2B airplane, when operating at its maximum gross weight of 28,500 lbs, is better than that of the C-130B and the C-123B, even when these airplanes are operating near minimum practical gross weights. The takeoff and landing performance of the CV-2B operating at maximum gross weight is either equal to or better than that of the JC-130B, the NC-130B, and the YC-123H. The CV-2B equipped with reversing propellers demonstrates landing performance that is considerably better than that of any of the airplanes tested during the Air Force Project Rough Road Alpha.
