A new handling qualities specification for military rotorcraft has been adopted by the United States (U.S.) Army Aviation Systems Command (AVSCOM) as Aeronautical Design Standard (ADS-33C). This specification contains the requirements that are designed to accommodate a variety of rotorcraft types, mission flight phases, and flight environmental characteristics. Criteria are given for three levels of flying qualities and a systematic treatment of failures and reliability. In addition to the quantitative criteria, a set of flight demonstration maneuvers have been specified to give an overall assessment of handling qualities for selected mission tasks. This report explains the background and rationale for the requirements, provides the data on which they are based, and gives guidance for applications.
