The study covered an analysis of helicopter operational usage affecting the design, installation, and operation of an integral weight and balance system for Army cargo helicopters currently in existence with those yet in the planning stage. An analysis of existing integral weight and balance systems and the applicability to helicopter usage was also performed. A recommended general system configuration is discussed as the outcome of the previously accomplished analysis. Problems involving accurate measurement of the gross weight and center of gravity with rotor(s) in operation are discussed with the solution. The application of an integral weight and balance system to Army cargo helicopters appears to be entirely feasible. (Author)
