Mission analyses were performed for a draft-QMR-type Heavy Lift Helicopter operating in Southeast Asia, Western Europe, and the Continental United States in order to establish landing gear requirements. The results of these analyses indicate that both crane and transport configurations are equally capable for the majority of missions from landing gear flotation considerations; however, the helicopter configured solely for external loads has an advantage, since tire pressures may be reduced to correspond to the basic weight condition. The coverage rates recommended by the Corps of Engineers were used in the flotation analysis to indicate corresponding landing gear requirements. (Author)
