A study is presented of the Army hot day design hover criterion. Models are developed to represent rotorcraft, cost, environment and operation, and these models are integrated to examine the effectiveness and cost of the rotorcraft as a function of design altitude and temperature. Although no optimum design hover criterion can be derived, the effects of rotorcraft type and size, and performance degradation to be expected in the field are identified, and the appropriate range of design altitudes and temperatures are obtained.
