This is the report of an analysis of the economic benefits of providing crashworthiness and other safety-related design improvements within future Army scout helicopters. The analysis was performed for use by the Advanced Scout Helicopter Project Manager (PM-ASH). The analysis baseline was all OH-58A major and minor aircraft accidents from January 1972 through December 1978. Projections are made for 11 candidate aircraft designs which may have potential use in the scout helicopter role as defined by PM-ASH. Accident rates and losses are derived for each candidate aircraft. Losses are projected for a 20-year period of peacetime operation. Projections are derived based on each candidate's design features and the effectiveness of these features under the particular conditions in each OH-58A accident. Recommendations are made regarding use of this data in an ASH development program. (Author)
