DaveRindner Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I am curious does UH-1H adjusts flight model dynamically as fuel is burned of and ammunion is used up? I experimented with hovering, and taking helo off in max gross, with 4 miniGuns and two 19rocket launchers, and 50% fuel , with gross at 99% Compared two same load but with used up rockets and expended all ammo, and remaining fuel at about 35%. I have a hard discerning any difference is helicopter performance. The rotor disk coning seems same, but the difference may to small to discern. Hovering in GE seems to need same cycling, coll, and tail rotor offsets.
hitman Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Ive noticed it does. The torque readings vary at altitude, after significant fuel burnoff, and when all the ammo is expended. Its more noticeable when you fire all the rocket pods and drop the canisters. Also, Ive noticed that the gunship is more balanced than the slick as you dont have to trim as much.
