The major limitation of a modern helicopter with respect to its employment in transport operations has been a relatively small payload size. Among several ideas for overcoming this limitation are a number of multiple-lift schemes using two or more helicopters to lift payloads too large for a single helicopter. On a number of occasions, pairs of helicopters carrying a single load have been successfully employed. However, a considerable amount of flying skill was required in these cases in connection with the manual control tasks involved. Some form of automatic control will, therefore, be needed until twin-lift operations become generally practical. The present investigation is concerned with the development of models of the Twin-Lift System which can be used as a basis for the design of automatic control.
