About this file
This document is an initial requirements specification for a Helicopter Autorotational/High Risk Testing Trainer (HATT) aircraft, detailing both threshold (required) and objective (desired) capabilities. The requirements outline specifications for a two-place helicopter with dual controls intended for test pilot training at the United States Naval Test Pilot School.
The aircraft must feature conventional helicopter configuration with main/tail rotor or counter-rotating system, fully safe unaugmented or hydraulic boost controls, and environmental control systems. Key performance requirements include 2-hour mission length (2.5 desired), OGE hover capability, safe autorotation capabilities at idle power, and specific attitude/rate limits (30° pitch, 60° roll, 30°/sec yaw rate minimum). Safety features include five-point restraints, jettison-able doors, self-sealing fuel cells, and TCAS with ADS-B. Systems requirements specify VFR navigation suite with GPS, digital cockpit audio recording, and comprehensive flight test instrumentation data capture capabilities. The aircraft must be supportable with no unique ground support equipment and include 24 months of OEM maintenance support during transition period, with 95% parts availability desired for common components.

Attachment 1: Helicopter Autorotational/ High Risk Testing Trainer (HATT), Initial Requirements
Parameter Threshold (Required) Objective (Desired)
General Cockpit Two-place / Dual controls
Environmental control with Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning
(HVAC) and /or removable doors in place of air condition
Rotor System Conventional Helicopter, Main rotor / tail rotor, tandem, or counter rotating.
Flight Control System Fully safe and effective unaugment controls or hydraulic boost controls with appropriate Stability Augmentation System/ Stability and Control
Augmentation System (SAS /SCAS) augmentation.
Trim system with FTR (Force Trim Release) switch and/or incremental trim.
Control system which provides for:
1. AFCS degradable to unaugment control in all flight regimes.
2. Auto Pilot with flight condition capture and hold modes.
External Stores / Cargo ballast
No
1. Ability to mount weapons or external fuel tanks.
2. Cargo passenger compartment suitable for ballast within the allowable Center of Gravity (CG) limits
Engine - Rotor Governing System / Engine Control
Easily manipulated throttles for throttle idle and power recovery autorotations.
Engine-rotor response to permit safe, effective, repeated power recovery to wave off throughout descent and flare while remaining within the established limits.
-Full Authority Digital Engine Control FADEC) control easily manipulated, safe, and effective for in flight recovery from idle to powered flight
Direct control of variable Nr for performance measurement testing.
-Capable of in-flight engine shutdown and restart
Ground servicing/turnaround
-No unique or aircraft-specific ground power or ground support equipment required
Hot-pit refueling with pilot hot-switch capability
Maintenance / Supply
Interim maintenance support from the OEM while we transition to either contracted or organic support (24 Month Period)
Parts and materials available for at least two of the first phase events and an option for parts available for the first major phase event.
Minimum of 95% material availability for the most commonly used components and order fulfillment within 1 week of placing the order
Performance Start / Shutdown/ Rotor
Engagement
- -45 knots any azimuth
-Rotor Brake Mission Length 2 Hours 2.5 Hours
Max. Airspeed, knots - 150 forward 45 lateral / aft
Hover / Vertical Climb Capability
Out of Ground Effect (OGE) hover on MIL STD hot day, Sea Level mid mission GW
OGE hover and 500 fpm (feet per minute) vertical climb, MIL STD hot day, Sea Level Maximum T/O GW nz +.5g to +2.0g 0 to 3.0g Aircraft Attitude and rate
Limits 30 deg pitch 60 deg roll
30 deg/ sec yaw rate
45 deg pitch 60 sustained transient 90 deg roll
60 deg/ sec yaw rate Autorotation Capable of safe and effective repeatable autorotation at idle to a prepared soft or hard surface at 15 knots ground speed or less without restriction on number of repetitions per flight hour or annually /
TBO (gear cycles or otherwise). Without restriction to gross weight.
Rotor inertia normalized by gross weight and disk loading to provide good autorotative characteristics to include a reasonable decay from throttle reduction. Effectiveness and behavior similar to OH-58, UH-1B, AH-1S.
Safety Seats / Crash Attenuation Five-point restraint harnesses for all occupants, or demonstrated equivalent survivability
-Jettison-able Cockpit Doors, meeting egress time requirements.
- Jettison-able / removable cabin egress port.
