A procedure for computing fuel optimal fixed range trajectories is developed for helicopters. The algorithm uses a simplified dynamic model and a climb-cruise-descent assumption which simplifies the variational problem to an algebraic minimization. Development of the performance model is discussed extensively and representative results for the S-61 and S-76 helicopters are presented. The results show that the model and optimization algorithm are small enough and simple enough to be incorporated into an on-line optimization algorithm.
