The report presents the results of a flight test program on the Piasecki Model 16H-1A shaft-driven compound helicopter. The main components of the Model 16H-1A aircraft included: an H-21 articulated rotor, a wing with controllable flaperons and a shrouded pusher propeller. The aircraft was powered by a single T58-8 turbine engine. Aircraft performance, flying qualities, vibration and lift distribution between main rotor and wing were investigated over a level flight speed range of 0 to 167 knots and dive speeds up to 195 knots.
