ADS-10D-SP, AERONAUTICAL DESIGN STANDARD - STANDARD PRACTICE: AIR VEHICLE TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (16-SEP-2008)

ADS-10D-SP, AERONAUTICAL DESIGN STANDARD - STANDARD PRACTICE: AIR VEHICLE TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (16-SEP-2008)., This standard practice Aeronautical Design Standard specifies the air vehicle technical data necessary to perform a detailed analysis of the performance, handling qualities, rotor dynamics, airframe dynamics, acoustics and engine/drive train response characteristics of proposed new development or derivative rotorcraft. The purpose of this standard is to provide a clear technical description of the proposed air vehicle and its components at a level of detail consistent with the current stage of its design. To this end, the data requirements are divided into topics and the topics are divided into three levels: Level I, Level II, and Level III. Level I (minimum) requires sufficient information to conduct a basic performance and stability and control analysis including the aerodynamic effects of the rotor system and the fuselage. Level II (intermediate) requires all of the data required for Level I plus additional data required for more detailed rotor and fuselage aerodynamics analyses, a basic dynamic analysis of the rotors and the fuselage and a basic analysis of engine/airframe response characteristics. Level III (detailed) is intended to allow a very detailed aerodynamic and dynamic analysis. This standard practice Aeronautical Design Standard is a communications tool. It is intended to provide a standard nomenclature and format for providing a technical description of the design. This standard contains a set of requirements designed to be tailored for each contract by the contracting agency. The tailoring process intended for this standard is the deletion of non-applicable requirements.
