Zusammenfassung:An engineering evaluation of the AH-64A helicopter was conducted in Mesa, Arizona, on 3 October 1985. The US Army Aviation Engineering Flight Activity and the US Army Aviation Development Test Activity both participated in the test. The engine controls on the test aircraft had been modified to correct the poor engine/airframe response characteristics which had been reported as a deficiency on previous tests. The purpose of the evaluation was to verify that the modified engine control had corrected the engine/airframe response. Maneuvers investigated included quick stops, pull-ups, pushovers, jump takeoffs, side flares, and recoveries from low power descents. The engine/airframe response of the AH-64A with the modified engine controls is satisfactory.
