A large number of obstacle strikes have occurred during Army helicopter combat missions and nap-of-the-earth (NOE) training missions. Obstacle strike tolerance becomes particularly important for NOE flights in areas containing many obstacles, such as western Europe. This report defines the obstacle strike problem, particularly for tree and wire strikes. Only a small percentage of obstacle strikes produce accidents, but these accidents account for a high proportion of helicopter damage costs. Tree strikes are more common than wire strikes, but the wire strikes are more likely to cause accidents. Generally, the main and tail rotors are most commonly struck, but a high proportion of wire strikes also occur on the fuselage. Helicopter obstacle strike tolerance designs for rotors, fuselage, and controls are analyzed and the most promising concepts are selected for both existing and future helicopter systems. In addition, obstacle strike tolerance design criteria are defined.
