Engineering flight tests of the UH-1B helicopter equipped with the XM-16 and XM-21 armament subsystems were conducted. The overall objective was to determine the effect of the installation of the subsystems on the UH-1B. Specific objectives were to determine the existence of any safety-of-flight conditions by evaluation of equantitative stability and control and vibration data and to determine any performance losses.
