Abstract

This paper describes the DOD's Heavy Lift Helicopter Advanced Technology Component (HLH/ATC) in the light of the historical background of the ship-to-shore cargo handling problem. The helicopter's role in the DOD'S current logistic concept is discussed, along with the consequent need for an advanced technology program in order to develop the necessary vertical lift system and subsystem capabilities. After describing the Heavy Lift Helicopter baseline design, the paper outlines the specific component developments in the areas of rotor, drive, flight controls, and cargo handling systems. Projected commercial application of the HLH System is briefly discussed.
