A flight test study was conducted to evaluate the effects of compound configuration on helicopter flying and handling qualities in low-speed flight and to develop task performance evaluation techniques. The S-61F compound helicopter test-bed aircraft was used to perform a series of hover and low-speed tasks while objective measures and pilot opinion data were recorded. The task sequences were first performed in the full compound configuration and then repeated with the wings and horizontal stabilizer removed. This provided data for an evaluation of the influence of the wing and horizontal stabilizer on helicopter flying and handling qualities. (Author)
