The report presents the results of a research program in maneuverability and rotor loads on the compound version of the rigid-rotor XH-51A helicopter. The principal objective of this program was to evaluate the maneuvering capability in terms of envelope expansion, longitudinal and lateral control power and damping, autorotation characteristics, level flight characteristics, and hover maneuvers. The testing included the evaluation of rotor RPM and control sensitivity changes over the target airspeed-load factor envelope for both neutral and forward centers of gravity. The maximum true airspeeds attained with a forward center of gravity were 262.7 knots at 95.5 percent rotor RPM in a shallow descent at a density altitude of 7750 feet, and 223.5 knots at 91 percent rotor speed at a density altitude of 7250 feet in level flight.
