The report presents the results of a limited performance and handling qualities evaluation of the Hiller Model 1961 UH-12E helicopter. The tests were conducted by the U.S. Army Aviation Test Office, Edwards Air Force Base, California for the U.S. Forest Service. The purpose of the program was to establish the high altitude hovering and take-off performance of the helicopter. Additional data was obtained during supplemental climb, level flight, autorotation and handling qualities tests. All performance data was quantitative and was obtained from calibrated instrumentation. All handling qualities data resulted from qualitative analysis of tests flown by the military project pilot.
