This publication clarifies and modernizes the text in the current Design Data Sheet, DDS 130-2, used to analyze the structural strength of US Navy ship helicopter flight and hangar decks. This document explains the DDS 130-2 procedure to provide a better understanding of the methodology. The DDS 130-2 and this document provide a uniform standard and simplified method for the strength analysis of the helicopter flight and hangar deck structure on US Navy Ships. The analysis method is specifically for helicopter operations. Any other loading conditions or aircraft operations in the handling areas should be considered separately. The DDS 130-2 includes helicopter with both wheeled and skid type landing gear, this paper focuses on helicopters with wheeled gears only.
