 | The United States Army Aviation Engineering Flight Activity performed a limited handling qualities and performance evaluation of the TS-2A airplane modified with a retardant tank system for use in the United States Forest Service airtanker mission. The evaluation was conducted in two phases: Phase I, prior to installation of the liquid dispensing tanks, and Phase II, following installation of the tank modification. Phase I was conducted in 1972 by USAAEFA. ... |

| The United States Army Aviation Engineering Flight Activity conducted an Army Preliminary Evaluation of a YAH-1R helicopter, SN 70-16936, with the Kaman improved main rotor blade, designated K-747, installed. The tests were conducted to determine suitability for future Army testing and any performance differences with the K-747 rotor installed. The main rotor blade includes an advanced design airfoil, a tapered tip planform, composite material construction, and a multicell, ballistically tolerant ... |

|
| The United States Army Aviation Engineering Flight Activity conducted an evaluation of the C-12A aircraft. During the test program four flights totaling 3.8 hours were flown. Soft soil and simulated rough terrain operations were conducted. The C-12A met the requirements of the prime item development specification for operating on soft soil. If the aircraft is to be operated on rough/unprepared terrain, one deficiency was found during this test program: failure ... |

|
| Engineering flight tests were conducted by the United States Army Aviation Systems Test Activity to determine if any adverse autorotational entry or landing characteristics would preclude increasing the maximum operational gross weight of the AH-1G helicopter above the current 9500 pounds. A production AH-1G helicopter with tractor tail rotor was flown 14.4 hours at Edwards Air Force Base, California between 26 September and 12 October 1973 in the Hog configuration. ... |
