Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This discussion will present an overview of light helicopters of less than 4000 pounds gross weight used by both military and commercial aviation, Hughes Helicopters background in light helicopters, the design considerations and criteria used in the development of these helicopters, and the Army's entry into light helicopter development. It also offers some conjecture on the design considerations and criteria which might be used to develop a next generation light-weight, multi-purpose helicopter which could be used suitably by both military and commercial aviation.
