X-Planes: Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk

By April 1966 a Piasecki compound helicopter had reached 225 miles per hour on one engine of 1,250 horsepower. In 2008 a Piasecki compound helicopter finished its first test phase credited with 218.65 miles per hour on a transmission rated at 3,400 shaft horsepower. The second aeroplane carried 1.342 times the power for every pound it weighed and came home 6.35 miles per hour slower, forty-two years later [Robb, Hybrid helicopters, Vertiflite] [16H-1A Pathfinder II, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation] [Piasecki 16H Pathfinder] [Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk]. Both figures are derived in What the Data Changed, and the limits of the record behind them are set out under Where the Framing Breaks Down.

This is the fiftieth article in the X-Planes series, following the X-1, the X-2, the X-3, the X-4, the X-5, the X-6, the X-7, the X-8, the X-9, the X-10, the X-11, the X-12, the X-13, the X-14, the X-15, the X-16, the X-17, the X-18, the X-19, the X-20, the X-21, the X-22, the X-23, the X-24, the X-25, the X-26, the X-27, the X-28, the X-29, the X-30, the X-31, the X-32, the X-33, the X-34, the X-35, the X-36, the X-37, the X-38, the X-39, the X-40, the X-41, the X-42, the X-43, the X-44, the X-45, the X-46, the X-47, and the X-48.

This article is about why that comparison is not the indictment it looks like, and about the physical limit that neither aeroplane could get past.

The Research Question

A helicopter is slow for a reason that has nothing to do with power. On the Seahawk’s published engine rating the X-49A had 3,780 installed shaft horsepower and could not use all of it [Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk]. What stops a helicopter is that its rotor is asymmetric in forward flight, and the asymmetry gets worse in two different ways at once.

Compounding attacks one of those ways and leaves the other untouched. That asymmetry is the subject of this article, and the arithmetic that describes it settles what the X-49A could and could not have achieved.

Programme Origin

In October 2000 the Naval Air Systems Command awarded Piasecki a demonstration contract, the work having begun as a Small Business Innovation Research effort. A Sikorsky YSH-60F Seahawk, a naval derivative of the Army’s Black Hawk [Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk], was modified as a testbed for the vectored thrust ducted propeller. During 2004 the programme transitioned to the Army’s Aviation Applied Technology Directorate, carrying the X-49A designation, allocated on 23 May 2003 under the Navy’s sponsorship according to the register that Andreas Parsch compiles from data the Department of Defense has released [Parsch, DOD 4120.15-L Addendum] [X-49 SpeedHawk vectored thrust ducted propeller, GlobalSecurity] [Aviation Applied Technology Directorate, United States Army]. The contract was worth 26.1 million dollars when announced in 2003 [Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk].

The technology was thirty-eight years old when the contract was signed. The ducted propeller descends directly from the ring tail of the Piasecki 16H-1 Pathfinder, first flown on 21 February 1962, and from the 16H-1A Pathfinder II of 15 November 1965, which logged more than 150 hours under a joint Army and Navy programme [Piasecki 16H Pathfinder] [16H-1 Pathfinder, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation] [Piasecki 16H-1A Pathfinder II, Vertipedia]. The configuration class is older still [Compound helicopter], and the 16H-1A’s success fed into the Lockheed Cheyenne [Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk], which the manufacturer states was ended by technical deficiencies unrelated to the compound configuration [16H-1A Pathfinder II, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation] [Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne].

The Designation Was Skipped, and Then Reused

The X-49 number was passed over on purpose. As of early 2002 the designator had been skipped because the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency asked for X-50 for the Dragonfly canard rotor wing demonstrator, on the reported reasoning that the Dragonfly would be the first true fifty-fifty marriage of helicopter and high-speed aeroplane [X-49 SpeedHawk vectored thrust ducted propeller, GlobalSecurity].

A designation was therefore chosen for its numerology and a number was left vacant to achieve it. The vacancy was filled on 23 May 2003, when the register records the X-49A allocated to Sikorsky and Piasecki with the Navy as sponsor [Parsch, DOD 4120.15-L Addendum], and in 2004 Piasecki’s vectored thrust ducted propeller programme transitioned from the Navy to the Army carrying the number nobody had wanted.

The aeroplane that took the round number is the subject of the next article in this series [Boeing X-50 Dragonfly]. It crashed twice and never demonstrated conversion [Boeing X-50 Dragonfly]. None of this shows that the numbering was wrong, but the fact is worth holding while reading either article.

One consequence is bibliographic and bears on this article. The specialist directory whose appendix on X-vehicles supplies specification tables for many aeroplanes in this series carries no page for the X-49, jumping from the X-48 to the X-50 [Parsch, Directory of U.S. Military Rockets and Missiles, Appendix 4]. The X-43 and the X-44 are also absent from it, so this is not the only article in the series without an entry there, and the specifications below are assembled from the manufacturer, the sponsor and the general press instead.

Sizing From First Principles

The X-49A was not sized from a clean sheet, so this section sizes what it was given. The airframe was the Seahawk’s with its drive train modified to drive the duct, and the wing came from a business jet [Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk]. This article takes the rotor and the gearbox rating to be the Seahawk’s as well. The first subsection below, What Limits a Helicopter’s Speed, derives the tip speed, the blade loading, the advance ratios and the wing area that a given share of the weight requires. The second, What the Modification Cost, sets the added weight against useful load, prices the hover download per square foot of wing, and finds the binding constraint in the transmission, whose rating the engines exceed.

What Limits a Helicopter’s Speed

The Rotor Is Asymmetric and Gets Worse Both Ways

A rotor blade advancing into the flight direction sees its own rotational speed plus the aeroplane’s. A blade retreating sees the difference. With tip speed $\Omega R$ and flight speed $V$, the two tips see

\[V_{\text{adv}} = \Omega R + V, \qquad V_{\text{ret}} = \Omega R - V \tag{1}\]

The ratio of flight speed to tip speed, the advance ratio, is the governing parameter [Prouty, Helicopter performance, stability and control] [Stepniewski and Keys, Rotary-wing aerodynamics],

\[\mu = \frac{V}{\Omega R} \tag{2}\]

Two separate limits close in as $\mu$ rises and they are not the same limit [Leishman, Principles of helicopter aerodynamics] [Johnson, Helicopter theory].

The retreating blade loses dynamic pressure as the square of its local velocity, so to carry the same section lift it needs a lift coefficient larger by the inverse of that ratio,

\[\frac{q_{\text{ret}}}{q_{\text{hover}}} = \left(\frac{\Omega R - V}{\Omega R}\right)^{2} = (1-\mu)^{2} \tag{3}\] \[\frac{c_{\ell,\text{req}}}{c_{\ell,\text{hover}}} = \frac{1}{(1-\mu)^{2}} \tag{4}\]

At the baseline cruise that factor is 2.06. At the demonstrated 190 knots it is 3.22. The retreating tip is being asked for more than three times the lift coefficient it needs in the hover, and aerofoils have a ceiling.

There is also a region where the blade flies backwards. Inboard on the retreating side, the flight speed exceeds the local rotational speed, and the reverse flow region is a circle of diameter $\mu R$ tangent to the hub,

\[\frac{A_{\text{reverse}}}{A} = \frac{\pi (\mu R/2)^{2}}{\pi R^{2}} = \frac{\mu^{2}}{4} \tag{5}\]

which grows as the square and more than doubles between cruise and the demonstrated speed, from 2.29 percent of the disc to 4.89, reaching 6.56 at the never-exceed speed [Jenkins 1966].

The advancing blade meanwhile approaches the speed of sound, and drag divergence arrives whether or not the retreating blade is in trouble.

The X-49A’s Numbers

The Seahawk’s rotor is 53 feet 8 inches in diameter [Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk]. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, instrumented the UH-60A’s rotor for its airloads flight programme, and that report gives a radius of 26.83 feet, four blades of 20.76 inch nominal chord, a geometric solidity of 0.0826 and a 100 percent rotor speed of 258 revolutions per minute [Kufeld, Romander, Dominguez and Dromiack, UH-60A airloads flight test program, NASA/TM-2019-220317]. The two radii agree,

\[\frac{53 + 8/12}{2} = 26.83\ \text{ft} \tag{6}\]

and the YSH-60F is assumed here to share the UH-60A rotor’s published geometry and speed, since the X-49A’s rotor dimensions go unstated in every source read. The sea-level speed of sound is 340.29 metres per second in the standard atmosphere [U.S. Standard Atmosphere 1976 1976], being $\sqrt{\gamma R^{*} T_0 / M_0}$ with $\gamma = 1.4$, $R^{*} = 8.31432$ joules per mole per kelvin, $T_0 = 288.15$ kelvin and $M_0 = 0.0289644$ kilograms per mole, which is 340.294 metres per second or 1,116.45 feet per second. The tip speed and the hover tip Mach number at sea level are then

\[\Omega R = \frac{258 \times 2\pi}{60} \times 26.83 = 724.9\ \text{ft/s} \tag{7}\] \[M_{\text{tip}}^{\text{hover}} = \frac{724.9}{1116.45} = 0.649 \tag{8}\]

The sources publish no hover tip Mach number for this rotor, so 0.649 is a derived value that cannot check the inputs. From the nominal chord of 1.73 feet the solidity is

\[\sigma = \frac{N c}{\pi R} = \frac{4 \times 1.73}{\pi \times 26.83} = 0.0821 \tag{9}\]

slightly below the report’s geometric solidity of 0.0826, which the blade loading below uses. The encyclopaedia entry on the Seahawk gives the SH-60B an anti-submarine mission gross weight of 17,758 pounds [Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk]. With disc area $A = \pi R^2 = 2{,}261.5\ \text{ft}^2$ and following the standard non-dimensionalisation [Bramwell, Done and Balmford, Bramwell’s helicopter dynamics], the blade loading at that weight is

\[\frac{C_T}{\sigma} = \frac{W}{\rho A (\Omega R)^{2} \sigma} = \frac{17{,}758}{0.0023769 \times 2{,}261.5 \times 724.9^{2} \times 0.0826} = 0.0761 \tag{10}\]

which is an ordinary helicopter number and shows no strain.

The advance ratios follow.

Condition	Speed	$\mu$	Retreating tip	Advancing tip Mach
assumed baseline cruise	130 kt	0.303	505 ft/s	0.846
X-49A demonstrated	190 kt	0.442	404 ft/s	0.937
programme target	200 kt	0.466	387 ft/s	0.952
never-exceed	220 kt	0.512	354 ft/s	0.982

The 130 knot baseline is an assumed round cruise speed for the unmodified aeroplane. It is not a published SH-60F figure. A magazine account puts the Black Hawk’s practical limit at cruise speed at about 140 miles per hour [Chiles, Hot-rod helicopters, Air & Space], which with 6,076.12 feet to the nautical mile and 5,280 to the statute mile is

\[140 \times \frac{5280}{6076.12} = 121.7\ \text{kt} \tag{11}\]

so the assumed baseline is of the same order as the family’s cruise and serves only to anchor the first row. The 190 and 220 knot rows depend on a reading of the published speeds, stated in The Flight Test Record.

What the Wing Has to Carry

Offloading is a dynamic pressure argument. It explains why compounding works at speed and is useless in the hover. A wing carrying a fraction $f$ of the weight needs

\[f W = \tfrac{1}{2} \rho V^{2} S_w C_L \tag{12}\] \[S_w = \frac{f W}{q C_L}, \qquad q(190\ \text{kt}) = 122.2\ \text{lb/ft}^{2} \tag{13}\]

At 190 knots the air is doing enough work that a modest wing carries a great deal. Taking the maximum gross weight,

Fraction carried	$C_L = 0.5$	$C_L = 0.8$
30 percent	107 ft²	67 ft²
50 percent	179 ft²	112 ft²

A business jet wing is of that order, so an existing wing could be bought for the purpose, which makes this configuration cheap to try.

What the rotor then sees is the blade loading reduced in proportion,

\[\left(\frac{C_T}{\sigma}\right)_{\text{compound}} = (1-f)\left(\frac{C_T}{\sigma}\right)_{\text{pure}} \tag{14}\]

and there is no more to the mechanism. Halving the rotor’s share halves the lift coefficient the retreating blade must find, which brings the 3.22 factor computed above down to 1.61 and no further.

The Result That Decides the Article

The helicopter regime of the rotor literature ends near an advance ratio of 0.4, and the X-49A demonstrated 0.442. A NASA review of high advance ratio rotor performance describes the helicopter’s range as advance ratios from zero to 0.4 and finds analysis and experiment adequate only below 0.45 [Harris 2008]. That margin is the compounding at work, and a real achievement.

But look at the last column. At the demonstrated 190 knots the advancing tip is already at Mach 0.937. At the never-exceed speed it is at Mach 0.982, which is to say very nearly sonic.

Compounding relieves the retreating blade and does nothing for the advancing one. Offloading lift to a wing lets the retreating blade carry less and therefore stall later. The advancing tip does not care how much lift the blade is carrying. It is a compressibility problem, it is set by $\Omega R + V$, and the only variable in that expression a designer can move is $\Omega R$.

So the aeroplane had to slow its rotor, and none of the sources reports that this one did. The encyclopaedia entry on the X-49 states that the wing was intended to offload the rotor so that it could be slowed [Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk], and gives no rotor speed. Holding the advancing tip at Mach 0.90 at the never-exceed speed would require

\[\Omega R = 0.90 \times 1116.45 - 220 \times 1.68781 = 633.5\ \text{ft/s} \tag{15}\] \[N = \frac{633.5}{26.83} \times \frac{60}{2\pi} = 225.5\ \text{rpm}, \qquad 1 - \frac{225.5}{258} = 12.6\ \text{percent} \tag{16}\]

Phase one was flown inside the existing Seahawk envelope [Piasecki’s X-49A SpeedHawk VTDP compound helicopter completes initial phase one flight testing, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation], a limit set by what the airframe and its rotor system were cleared for. Aerodynamics did not set it. If the rotor turned at Seahawk speed, then at that speed the advancing tip runs out before the retreating one does.

What the Modification Cost

Weight

The conversion added about 1,600 pounds [Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk]. The same Seahawk entry gives the SH-60B an empty weight of 15,200 pounds and a maximum take-off weight of 21,884 [Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk], and applying those SH-60B figures to the YSH-60F is an assumption. Against the empty weight and the maximum the addition is

\[\frac{1600}{15200} = 10.5\ \text{percent}, \qquad \frac{1600}{21884} = 7.3\ \text{percent} \tag{17}\]

But empty weight is the wrong denominator. What a modification spends is useful load, the difference between maximum gross and empty,

\[W_{\text{useful}} = 21{,}884 - 15{,}200 = 6{,}684\ \text{lb} \tag{18}\]

which equals the payload the same reference states [Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk], and

\[\frac{1600}{6684} = 23.9\ \text{percent} \tag{19}\]

Nearly a quarter of everything the aeroplane could otherwise have carried by any conceptual-design standard [Raymer, Aircraft design, a conceptual approach] [Anderson, Aircraft performance and design]. On a naval helicopter whose useful load is the mission, that comes out of payload, fuel or both, and 23.9 percent is the number an operator would be shown.

The Wing Sits in the Downwash

A wing under a rotor is a lift-producing device in hover only in the wrong direction. At maximum gross weight the disc loading is

\[\frac{W}{A} = \frac{21884}{2261.5} = 9.68\ \text{lb/ft}^{2} \tag{20}\]

and momentum theory gives the induced velocity and the fully developed slipstream dynamic pressure as [McCormick, Aerodynamics, aeronautics and flight mechanics]

\[v_i = \sqrt{\frac{W/A}{2\rho}} = 45.1\ \text{ft/s}, \qquad q_{\text{slip}} = \tfrac{1}{2}\rho (2 v_i)^{2} = 9.68\ \text{lb/ft}^{2} \tag{21}\]

The slipstream dynamic pressure equals the disc loading exactly. The two expressions are the same statement written twice, so the match is no coincidence. For a wing broadside to that flow with a drag coefficient between 1.2 and 1.5, the download is

\[\frac{D}{S_w} = q_{\text{slip}} C_D = 11.6\ \text{to}\ 14.5\ \text{lb per square foot of wing} \tag{22}\]

Download is paid for as extra thrust, and thrust in the hover is paid for as power. The rotor must lift the aeroplane and its own download, so

\[T_{\text{req}} = W + D_{\text{dn}}, \qquad \frac{P}{P_0} = \left(\frac{T_{\text{req}}}{W}\right)^{3/2} \tag{23}\]

by momentum theory, so a download of five percent of gross weight costs about 7.6 percent more hover power, and the penalty compounds against a transmission that has none to give.

The X-49A’s wing area appears in none of the sources consulted, the wing having been taken from an Aerostar FJ-100 business jet [Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk] [Chiles, Hot-rod helicopters, Air & Space], so the result is given per square foot and the reader may multiply. Every ten square feet of wing costs roughly 120 to 145 pounds of hover lift, and the flaperons matter for that reason.

The Constraint Was the Transmission, Not the Engines

In the Seahawk entry the SH-60B has two T700-GE-401C turboshafts of 1,890 shaft horsepower each for take-off [Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk]. The original UH-60A transmission is rated at 2,828 horsepower of dual input at a rotor speed of 258 revolutions per minute [Mitchell, Oswald and Coe, Testing of UH-60A helicopter transmission, NASA TP-2626], and a defence patent on gearbox vibration states that 2,828 shaft horsepower defines 100 percent dual-engine power across the Black Hawk and Seahawk family while the improved durability gearbox of the SH-60B has a continuous rating of 3,400 [Blunt, Synchronous averaging of epicyclic sun gear vibration, US Patent 6,898,975]. That the YSH-60F carried that gearbox is assumed here, and no source read confirms it. Then

\[2 \times 1890 - 3400 = 380\ \text{shp}, \qquad \frac{380}{3780} = 10.1\ \text{percent} \tag{24}\]

so 380 horsepower, 10.1 percent of what the engines make for take-off, cannot reach the rotor.

That single fact explains the shape of the unbuilt second phase. The plan was a drag clean-up, including a rotor hub fairing and retracting landing gear, and a third engine to help drive the ducted propeller [X-49 SpeedHawk vectored thrust ducted propeller, GlobalSecurity]. A third engine driving the duct directly is not about total power. It is about routing power to the propulsor without passing it through a gearbox that is already at its limit.

A second reason phase two was a drag programme is a cube law. Helicopter power divides into induced, profile and parasite terms, and only the last rises steeply with speed [Prouty, Helicopter performance, stability and control],

\[P = P_i + P_o + P_p, \qquad P_p = \tfrac{1}{2}\rho V^{3} f_e \tag{25}\]

in which $f_e$ is the equivalent flat plate area. Going from the baseline to the demonstrated speed,

\[\frac{P_p(190)}{P_p(130)} = \left(\frac{190}{130}\right)^{3} = 3.12 \tag{26}\]

and reaching the 200 knot objective would have cost 3.64 times the baseline parasite power. A hub fairing and retracting gear attack $f_e$ directly, the only term in that expression a retrofit can change cheaply. Against a transmission with 380 horsepower already stranded, that is where the margin had to come from.

No record of phase two being funded or flown appears in the sources consulted, and the X-49 entry describes the programme as silent since its first phase ended in 2008 [Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk].

The X-49A column follows the sections above. The 16H-1A’s base airframe, rotor diameter, ducted propeller diameter, engine and maximum speed are the manufacturer’s [16H-1A Pathfinder II, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation], its span and gross weight a general reference’s [Piasecki 16H Pathfinder], and its first flight and hours the manufacturer’s and the Vertical Flight Society’s [Piasecki 16H-1A Pathfinder II, Vertipedia]. The later section on where the framing breaks down sets out where they disagree.

What a Duct Adds

A shrouded propulsor is not merely a propeller with a guard around it. An open rotor’s slipstream contracts, and by how much follows from momentum theory alone. Thrust is the momentum flux and power is the kinetic energy flux,

\[T = \dot{m}\, w, \qquad P = \tfrac{1}{2}\dot{m}\, w^{2} = T v_i \tag{27}\]

which together give $w = 2 v_i$, so the far wake moves at twice the velocity at the disc, and continuity then fixes the area,

\[A_\infty v_\infty = A_d v_d \implies \frac{A_\infty}{A_d} = \frac{v_d}{2 v_d} = \frac{1}{2} \tag{28}\]

The slipstream contracts to half the disc area, and half the useful acceleration therefore happens downstream of the rotor where no shroud can recover it. A duct that holds the exit area open prevents that contraction, and the actuator disc relations change accordingly. With exit area $A_e$, disc area $A_d$ and $\sigma_d = A_e/A_d$,

\[\dot{m} = \rho A_d v_d, \qquad v_e = \frac{v_d}{\sigma_d} \tag{29}\] \[T = \dot{m} v_e = \frac{\rho A_d v_d^{2}}{\sigma_d}, \qquad P = \tfrac{1}{2}\dot{m} v_e^{2} = \frac{\rho A_d v_d^{3}}{2\sigma_d^{2}} \tag{30}\]

The duct’s report literature is largely a 1950s and 1960s one [Theodorsen 1960b] [Meyerhoff and Zvengrowski 1962].

Eliminating $v_d$ at constant power gives the augmentation,

\[\frac{T}{T_{\text{open}}} = (2\sigma_d)^{1/3} \tag{31}\]

An open rotor is the case $\sigma_d = 1/2$, which returns unity as it must. A duct that holds the exit at the disc area gives

\[\frac{T}{T_{\text{open}}} = 2^{1/3} = 1.26 \tag{32}\]

Twenty-six percent more static thrust for the same power and the same disc area, and a mildly diffusing duct at $\sigma_d = 1.2$ gives 1.34.

The case for the ring tail comes down to that figure, and it explains how a ducted propeller small enough to fit where a tail rotor went can still supply meaningful forward thrust. It is also a static result. The augmentation falls away in forward flight as the duct becomes a fairing around a propeller, and no publication consulted locates that point for this duct.

The duct does three jobs that a tail rotor does one and a half of. It supplies anti-torque, it supplies yaw control, and in forward flight it supplies thrust, with vanes vectoring the efflux [X-49 SpeedHawk vectored thrust ducted propeller, GlobalSecurity] [Chiles, Hot-rod helicopters, Air & Space]. The first flight exercised those jobs, being hovering, pedal turns and slow forward and sideways flight on the duct for anti-torque, directional and trim control [Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk].

The Flight Test Record

The X-49A first flew on 29 June 2007 at New Castle County Airport near Wilmington, Delaware, for fifteen minutes [Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk] [X-49 SpeedHawk vectored thrust ducted propeller, GlobalSecurity]. Phase one testing completed in 2008 with more than 80 flight events and more than 80 hours logged [Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk].

The programme’s own reported results are a speed claim, a vibration claim and a hover claim, and only the hover claim carries a number. The manufacturer’s release on completing the first phase reports preliminary results indicating a significant increase in speed over the baseline H-60, hover performance on average within 3.7 percent of predicted values, and significantly reduced forward flight vibration and fatigue loads [Piasecki’s X-49A SpeedHawk VTDP compound helicopter completes initial phase one flight testing, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation]. The same release places the first phase inside the SH-60’s limit under the Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization programme, or NATOPS, and plans a second phase with a supplementary power unit and streamlining to reach speeds over 200 knots.

The demonstrated maximum speed is stated in no primary document read for this article. The encyclopaedia article on the aeroplane gives a maximum of 350 kilometres per hour, a cruise of 250 and a never-exceed speed of 410 [Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk]. With 1.852 kilometres to the nautical mile these are

\[\frac{350}{1.852} = 189.0\ \text{kt}, \qquad \frac{250}{1.852} = 135.0\ \text{kt}, \qquad \frac{410}{1.852} = 221.4\ \text{kt} \tag{33}\]

This article takes the maximum as 190 knots and the never-exceed speed as 220 knots, reading the kilometre figures as conversions rounded to two significant figures, since

\[190 \times 1.852 = 351.9\ \text{km/h}, \qquad 220 \times 1.852 = 407.4\ \text{km/h} \tag{34}\]

and both round to the published values. That reading is an assumption, and the discussion of where the framing breaks down sets it against a lower figure the manufacturer gave the press.

Comparison With Ground Prediction

The programme reported a single direct comparison against prediction, for the hover. Hover performance was on average within 3.7 percent of prediction, one of the programme’s claims listed in The Flight Test Record above. The article reports that figure without the prediction behind it, so the figure stands as reported and goes unexamined.

The speed objective was set on the ground and flight fell short of it. The programme target was 200 knots [X-49 SpeedHawk vectored thrust ducted propeller, GlobalSecurity], and against the 190 knots this article takes as the demonstrated maximum the shortfall is

\[200 - 190 = 10\ \text{kt}, \qquad \frac{10}{200} = 5\ \text{percent of the objective} \tag{35}\]

The discussion under What the Data Changed attributes the shortfall to a first phase flown inside the existing Seahawk envelope with the drag clean-up and the third engine unbuilt, and the Epistemic State section classes that attribution as inference rather than analysis.

The manufacturer’s speed claim compares the aeroplane with the baseline H-60, with no prediction involved, and calls the gain significant without giving a figure [Piasecki’s X-49A SpeedHawk VTDP compound helicopter completes initial phase one flight testing, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation].

The predictions this article makes for itself have no flight counterpart in the public record. The advance ratios and advancing tip Mach numbers are derived from the Seahawk rotor at its published speed, and whether the rotor speed was reduced at all in flight is among the questions Epistemic State lists as unsettled. The download of 11.6 to 14.5 pounds per square foot of wing, displayed under The Wing Sits in the Downwash, is an upper bracket built on an assumed drag coefficient and an unpublished wing area. The static thrust augmentation of 1.26 that momentum theory gives the duct, derived in the subsection on what a duct adds, has no published measurement for this duct, static or in forward flight.

The one primary flight document in the record concerns the predecessor and was not read. The 16H-1A flight test research programme of 1968 is named and its text was not retrievable [Meyers et al. 1968], so the 16H-1A’s speed in the opening comparison comes from secondary accounts instead of measured data.

What the Data Changed

The 1965 Aircraft Was Faster for a Non-Aerodynamic Reason

The 16H-1A had reached 225 miles per hour by April 1966 on a single 1,250 horsepower turbine [16H-1A Pathfinder II, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation] [Robb, Hybrid helicopters, Vertiflite], at a gross weight a general reference gives as 10,800 pounds [Piasecki 16H Pathfinder]. The X-49A’s 190 knots, with 6,076.12 feet to the nautical mile and 5,280 to the statute mile, compares with it as

\[190 \times \frac{6076.12}{5280} = 218.65\ \text{mph}, \qquad 225 - 218.65 = 6.35\ \text{mph}, \qquad 225 \times \frac{5280}{6076.12} = 195.5\ \text{kt} \tag{36}\]

a speed reached in the first test phase of 2007 and 2008 with 3,400 horsepower at the gearbox and twice the weight. The comparison is a ratio of power loadings and needs nothing else,

\[\frac{(W/P)_{16H}}{(W/P)_{X49}} = \frac{10{,}800/1{,}250}{21{,}884/3{,}400} = \frac{8.64}{6.44} = 1.342 \tag{37}\]

The later aeroplane had 1.342 times the power per pound and was 6.35 miles per hour slower.

That comparison is real, but as a test of the technology it is unfair. The 16H-1A was a rebuild of the 16H-1, a compound designed with its ring tail from the start [16H-1 Pathfinder, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation] [16H-1A Pathfinder II, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation] [Robb, Hybrid helicopters, Vertiflite]. The X-49A was a naval helicopter of a production type with a duct and a wing attached to it, flown inside the envelope that helicopter was already cleared to, with the hub fairing and the retracting gear left to the second phase [X-49 SpeedHawk vectored thrust ducted propeller, GlobalSecurity], and on this article’s assumption with its rotor turning at the speed that helicopter’s rotor turns.

The X-49A, then, was not an attempt to fly fast. It was an attempt to find out what compounding does to an aeroplane already in service, a different question with a different figure of merit.

The Figure of Merit Is the Retrofit, Not the Speed

Read as a retrofit study the results line up. Vibration and fatigue loads reported as significantly reduced, hover performance within 3.7 percent of prediction, the duct demonstrated in all three of its roles, and 1,600 pounds, being the 23.9 percent of useful load computed in the weight subsection, as the price. Those are the numbers a fleet operator would want, and the top speed is the least interesting of them.

Read as a speed demonstrator it is a programme that stopped one phase short of its objective, and the sources consulted record no drag clean-up, no third engine and no attempt at 200 knots.

What the Arithmetic Shows Either Way

Even the unbuilt phase two would have run into the advancing blade. The advancing tip Mach number is fixed by two terms and a retrofit can change only one of them,

\[M_{\text{adv}} = \frac{\Omega R + V}{a} \tag{38}\]

At 200 knots on the Seahawk rotor speed that is Mach 0.952. A drag clean-up buys thrust and a third engine buys power, and neither of them buys Mach number. The only remaining variable is rotor speed, and slowing a rotor on a production helicopter changes its dynamics, its autorotation entry and its clearance.

This argument favours the configurations that came later. Sikorsky’s X2 and the coaxial advancing-blade designs slow their rotors deliberately and put the lift on the advancing sides of two rotors [Sikorsky X2], a different answer to the same asymmetry.

Aerodynamics of wings and bodies

The fixed-wing half of a compound aircraft. Lift, drag, boundary layers, computation and wind tunnel technique, together with the drag of plates and bodies whose coefficients a download estimate borrows. A compound helicopter grows a wing and therefore inherits this literature whole, which is part of what makes the configuration expensive.

Ducted propulsors, shrouds and vectored thrust

The second largest cluster, after the wing literature, which is not what a helicopter article usually looks like. Ducted fans, shrouded propellers, duct lip behaviour and thrust vectoring, including the marine ducted propellers whose duct theory is the same. It is large because the duct is a propulsion subject with its own literature rather than a rotorcraft one.

Rotor aerodynamics, wakes and dynamic stall in forward flight

The rotor the article reasons about, computed and measured in forward flight. Rotor wakes and their measurement, dynamic stall, transonic flow over rotor blades, blade tip shapes and computational rotor aerodynamics. These are the methods by which the advancing and retreating tip conditions derived above are predicted in detail.

The rotor speed limit, advance ratio and retreating blade stall

The keystone, and the reason the aeroplane exists. Advance ratio, the reverse flow region, blade loading limits and the stall boundary. A rotor in forward flight is asymmetric, and the speed at which it can no longer be trimmed is the number compounding exists to move.

Compound rotorcraft, lift offload and auxiliary propulsion

The configuration class itself, and a smaller literature than the idea’s age suggests. Lift compounding, thrust compounding, slowed rotors and winged helicopters. The concept is older than most of this survey, which is a fact about the subject itself.

Flight dynamics, control and simulation

How a rotorcraft is modelled and flown through its control system. Flight dynamics models, control laws and stability augmentation, simulators and in-flight simulators and system identification, mostly for helicopters.

Rotor aeromechanics, blade loads and airloads

How a rotor is actually computed. Blade element and momentum theory, inflow models, free wake methods and comprehensive analysis, including the wind and tidal turbine work that uses the same blade element momentum method. This is the discipline in which the article’s keystone relation is elementary and its consequences are not.

Vibration, fatigue and the loads a rotor imposes

What the programme reported with most confidence. Oscillatory hub loads, fatigue damage, isolation and higher harmonic control. The X-49A’s vibration result is a reduction that its manufacturer reports as significant without giving a figure [Piasecki’s X-49A SpeedHawk VTDP compound helicopter completes initial phase one flight testing, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation], which is a loads claim rather than a speed claim.

High-speed rotorcraft configurations compared

The alternatives that were not chosen. Tiltrotors, coaxial advancing-blade designs, stopped rotors and canard rotor wings. The canard rotor wing of the X-50 Dragonfly is in this cluster, and that aeroplane took this article’s designation number, which is the anomaly the section headed The Designation Was Skipped, and Then Reused describes.

Parasite drag, hub drag and the clean-up that was never funded

The literature for the phase that did not happen. Hub and pylon fairings, fuselage drag, the equivalent parasite drag area and interference drag, together with the general drag reduction literature, much of it on turbulent skin friction over flat plates. Parasite power rises as the cube of speed, which is why the second phase was a drag programme, as the subsection headed The Constraint Was the Transmission, Not the Engines sets out.

Aeroelasticity, blade dynamics and rotor stability

The structural dynamics of blades and wings in an airstream. Flap-lag and flap-lag-torsion stability, air and ground resonance, stall flutter, rotor blade natural frequencies and the whirl flutter of a rotor on a wing. A slowed rotor moves its blade frequencies [Ehehalt et al. 2013] [Dibble et al. 2019b], which is one reason this article counts the rotor’s dynamics among the costs of slowing it.

Performance, power required and the engine installation

Where the real constraint turned out to live. Power required and available, turboshaft installation, gearboxes and transmissions. The main gearbox rating, not the engines, is what capped this aeroplane, which is why the unbuilt second phase added a third engine driving the duct directly.

Propulsion and engine integration

Engines and their installation, in rotorcraft and in other aircraft. Turboshaft integration, convertible and compound cycle engines, engine and rotor compatibility, thrust augmentation and forecasts of propulsion technology. The third engine planned for the second phase was a propulsion answer to a transmission limit, as the subsection headed The Constraint Was the Transmission, Not the Engines sets out.

The atmosphere and the flight condition

The medium, named rather than assumed. Standard atmosphere properties, density altitude and the speed of sound. This cluster exists because a tip Mach number is an atmospheric quantity, and every Mach number in this article rests on the sea-level speed of sound that the standard atmosphere supplies [U.S. Standard Atmosphere 1976 1976].

Propellers and marine propulsors

Open and ducted propellers, many of them marine. Propeller performance, controllable pitch propellers, ducted marine propellers and turbines, and propeller and wing interaction. The duct augmentation derived above holds in water as it does in air, because the actuator disc relations do not depend on the fluid.

Design studies, sizing and technology assessment

Conceptual design, sizing and the payoff of technology. Rotorcraft and aircraft design methods, weight estimation, mission sizing and studies of what a technology is worth. The 23.9 percent of useful load computed above is a sizing result, and this cluster and the weight cluster hold the methods for it.

Autorotation and what happens when the power stops

The safety case a compound has to make differently. Autorotative descent, height-velocity limits and engine failure, with the autorotation of seeds, plates and other free bodies whose physics is the same. Piasecki’s own claim for the 1965 aircraft was that compounding improved autorotation by removing the time-critical conversion a conventional helicopter needs.

Fan-in-wing, tilt-wing, tail-sitter, circulation-control and vectored-thrust demonstrators, flown or designed to test one such technology. The X-49A is a demonstrator of the same kind, an airframe modified to test one technology, and these records show that kind of aircraft beyond rotorcraft.

Other rotorcraft and aeronautical literature

The residual, reported and not hidden. Records that bear on a subject this article uses and belong to no named cluster, among them open wind turbine rotors whose blade element physics the rotor clusters share, an introductory text on the helicopter, a convention for naming the direction of rotor rotation and a few other titles. No literature among them is large enough to name.

Where the Framing Breaks Down

The wing area is not published and the download is therefore not a number. It is given per square foot, and a reader who knows the FJ-100 wing can finish the calculation.

The drag coefficient of 1.2 to 1.5 is assumed, with no measurement behind it. A wing in a rotor downwash with drooped flaperons can do materially better than a flat plate, and the programme had every reason to try. The download figure is an upper bracket rather than an estimate.

The sources disagree about the engines. The Seahawk is fitted with T700-GE-401C turboshafts [Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk], the designation register lists the X-49A with two T700-GE-401C [Parsch, DOD 4120.15-L Addendum], and at least one account of the X-49A gives the Army’s T700-GE-701C [Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk], whose rating no source read states. The aeroplane began as a Navy programme and finished as an Army one, so both may be right at different dates, and the article uses the gearbox rating of 3,400 shaft horsepower because the gearbox rating is the binding number.

The 16H-1A’s speed is quoted differently by the manufacturer and by general reference. Piasecki says 225 miles per hour maximum and 207 cruising [16H-1A Pathfinder II, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation]. A general encyclopaedia gives 230 miles per hour maximum and 175 cruising [Piasecki 16H Pathfinder]. The comparison in this article uses the manufacturer’s lower maximum, which is the conservative choice for the point being made. Its date is quoted two ways as well, since a history of the compound helicopter places the first free flight on 15 November 1965 and the 225 miles per hour among the flying done by April 1966 [Robb, Hybrid helicopters, Vertiflite], while a magazine account dates the 225 miles per hour to 1964 [Chiles, Hot-rod helicopters, Air & Space], which is before the 16H-1A first flew.

The 16H-1A’s gross weight is quoted three ways, and the opening comparison depends on which. The general encyclopaedia gives 10,800 pounds [Piasecki 16H Pathfinder]. The Vertical Flight Society’s aircraft database gives a maximum gross weight of 8,000 pounds [Piasecki 16H-1A Pathfinder II, Vertipedia], and the manufacturer’s empty weight of 4,450 and useful load of 3,450 pounds [16H-1A Pathfinder II, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation] sum to 7,900. The same database gives an empty weight of 4,550 pounds and the general encyclopaedia 4,800. At 8,000 pounds the ratio of power loadings becomes

\[\frac{(W/P)_{16H}}{(W/P)_{X49}} = \frac{8{,}000/1{,}250}{21{,}884/3{,}400} = \frac{6.40}{6.44} = 0.994 \tag{39}\]

so at the lighter figure the two aeroplanes carry essentially the same power per pound and the ratio of 1.342 disappears. The article keeps 10,800 pounds because the comparison was built on it, and the opening comparison is no firmer than that choice.

The 16H-1A’s engine rating is quoted two ways on the manufacturer’s own page. Its specification table gives the T58-GE-8 as 1,250 horsepower, and its narrative says the T-58 fitted in the 1964 modification was rated at 1,050 shaft horsepower [16H-1A Pathfinder II, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation]. The general encyclopaedia gives 1,250 [Piasecki 16H Pathfinder], and the article carries 1,250 on those two. At 1,050 shaft horsepower and 10,800 pounds the ratio of power loadings would be

\[\frac{(W/P)_{16H}}{(W/P)_{X49}} = \frac{10{,}800/1{,}050}{21{,}884/3{,}400} = \frac{10.29}{6.44} = 1.598 \tag{40}\]

so the lower rating would widen the gap, while the lighter weight above removes it. The two uncertainties pull in opposite directions, and no document read settles either.

A primary document that would settle it exists and was not read. The 16H-1A flight test research programme of 1968 is named and its identifier resolves, but its text was not retrievable [Meyers et al. 1968]. The comparison that opens the article therefore rests on a manufacturer’s account of its own aeroplane, the weakest kind of source for the strongest claim made here. A reader with library access can close that gap and this article cannot.

The advance ratio of about 0.4 that bounds the conventional helicopter regime describes the range the literature covers. It is not a measured boundary for this rotor [Harris 2008]. It depends on blade loading, twist, aerofoil section and how much roughness the pilot will accept. The SH-60F’s stall boundary is not published in any source consulted, so the claim that 0.442 lies past the conventional regime depends on the general figure, with no data for this aircraft behind it.

The demonstrated speed is a converted figure, and the one speed the manufacturer is quoted as giving is lower. A magazine account of the October 2008 demonstration reports that a Navy rule capped the flyby at about 200 miles per hour and that the company said the X-49A had reached 203 miles per hour in a slight descent [Chiles, Hot-rod helicopters, Air & Space]. In knots, and against the 190 this article carries, that is

\[203 \times \frac{5280}{6076.12} = 176.4\ \text{kt}, \qquad 190 - 176.4 = 13.6\ \text{kt} \tag{41}\]

The manufacturer’s own release places the first phase inside the SH-60’s NATOPS limit [Piasecki’s X-49A SpeedHawk VTDP compound helicopter completes initial phase one flight testing, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation], and the encyclopaedia gives the Seahawk a never-exceed speed of 180 knots [Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk]. No source this article could read reconciles the converted 190 knots with the quoted 203 miles per hour. If the lower figure is the true maximum, every number derived here at 190 knots, among them the advance ratio of 0.442 and the advancing tip Mach number of 0.937, describes a speed the aeroplane did not reach.

Nothing here measures the duct. The vectored thrust ducted propeller’s efficiency, its download in hover, its yaw authority against a conventional tail rotor and its weight relative to one are the quantities that would decide whether the configuration is worth having, and none of them is in the public record for this aeroplane.

The Source Base

The survey rests on 3,330 research records assembled from Crossref, from the Technical Reports Server of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, and from the Defense Technical Information Center, of which 584 are report primaries, being 17.5 percent, by the identifier rule set out under The Definition of Primary. The median publication year is 2007. Of the 3,281 dated records, 383 were published before 1970, the decade in which the 16H flew, being 11.7 percent, and 1,252 were published in 2015 or later, being 38.2 percent.

The Report Repositories Hold Nothing on the X-49

No research record cited in this article carries the X-49, the SpeedHawk or Piasecki in its title. The only cited title that names either Piasecki compound aeroplane is the 16H-1A flight test report described below.

The report repositories return nothing on the X-49 when asked for it by name. Asked directly, the NASA Technical Reports Server returns nothing at all for SpeedHawk, nothing for vectored thrust ducted propeller and nothing for 16H-1A. Its results for Piasecki are the Heli-Stat airship and unrelated work by other authors of that surname. The Defense Technical Information Center’s results for X-49 SpeedHawk are reports that happen to be numbered 49, including a computer graphics laboratory progress report and a strategic forum on Korean local elections.

So the X-49 has essentially no indexed technical literature in either report repository, which is consistent with a programme that began as a Small Business Innovation Research effort run through a contractor [X-49 SpeedHawk vectored thrust ducted propeller, GlobalSecurity], and no record in this survey shows where its technical results were published, if anywhere.

One Primary Document Exists About Either Aeroplane and Its Text Is Not Available

The exception is the 16H-1A flight test research programme, by Meyers, Tompkins and Goldberg, dated 1968 [Meyers et al. 1968]. It is the only primary document among the 3,330 survey records about either Piasecki compound aeroplane.

Its full text was not retrievable. The identifier is registered and resolves, so the document exists and is correctly cited, but its content is not available to this article. The consequence is that this article’s opening comparison still rests on the manufacturer’s own account of the 16H-1A’s speed and on one magazine account that dates it by April 1966, with a primary source named but not read. A reader with library access can close that gap and this article cannot.

What the repositories do hold is the duct’s own literature, and most of their share of it dates from the 1950s and 1960s. The survey carries 114 records whose titles name a ducted propeller, counting any single character between the two words, and 30 of them are report primaries, 26 of those dated to the 1950s or 1960s. Among them are a ducted propeller assault transport study in several volumes, a theoretical investigation of ducted propeller aerodynamics in four volumes and a ducted propeller technical study. The technology the X-49A demonstrated in 2007 was documented while the 16H was flying.

The Specialist Directory Has No Entry for the X-49

The specialist directory whose appendix on X-vehicles supplies specification tables for many aeroplanes in this series has no page for the X-49 [Parsch, Directory of U.S. Military Rockets and Missiles, Appendix 4]. In the range from the X-41 to the X-51 its index carries pages for the X-41, X-42, X-45, X-47, X-48, X-50 and X-51, and none for the X-43, the X-44 or the X-49. That is consistent with the designation history, since the number was skipped in 2002 and filled in 2003 [X-49 SpeedHawk vectored thrust ducted propeller, GlobalSecurity] [Parsch, DOD 4120.15-L Addendum], and it means the specifications here come from the manufacturer, the sponsor and the general press with no independent compilation to check them against.

The Definition of Primary

Primacy is a property of the document, and this survey derives it from the identifier. A record is a report primary when its address is on the NASA Technical Reports Server or it carries a digital object identifier under the 10.21236 prefix, which Crossref registers for Defense Technical Information Center reports. Among the report primaries are three NASA compound-rotorcraft studies, a 1966 report on blade response at high tip-speed ratios, the U.S. Standard Atmosphere, the 16H-1A flight test report and two 1960s ducted propeller studies. The rule does not reach the journal and society papers among the sources, such as the Vertical Flight Society forum papers on slowed rotors at high advance ratio, so 17.5 percent is a lower bound on how much of the survey is first-hand.

Thin Subjects

Seven subjects that this article’s derivations depend on have thin literatures. Each count below is the number of research records in this survey whose title carries at least one of the listed terms, with a hyphen read as a space.

Subject	Title terms counted	Records
the advancing tip Mach number	tip Mach, advancing tip, advancing blade tip, advancing helicopter blade	4
lift sharing between the wing and the rotor	lift share, lift sharing	4
torque and power limits on usable power	torque limit, torque limiting, torque protection, power available, transmission rating	5
the equivalent flat plate area	flat plate area, parasite drag area, equivalent parasite	1
the ring tail ducted propeller	ring tail, ring fin	2
the vectored thrust ducted propeller	vectored thrust ducted propeller, VTDP	0
retrofitting an existing helicopter	retrofit, retrofitted, retrofitting	0

The limit on which the conclusion rests is named in four titles. One of them is a test of full-scale helicopter rotors at high advancing tip Mach numbers and advance ratios [Biggers et al. 2015], which is the regime the X-49A entered. The other three concern the shock wave on an advancing blade, lift at low tip Mach numbers in the hover and the aural detection of a helicopter, so the compressibility argument rests on the relation for the advancing tip Mach number derived above rather than on a body of measurement.

Lift sharing is named in four titles, and two of them carry the same title, a NASA flight investigation of the wing-rotor lift-sharing characteristics of a hingeless rotor compound helicopter dated 1968 and 1969 [Deal and Jenkins 1968] [Deal and Jenkins 1969]. The wing’s share of the lift, which the sizing above treats as a free fraction, therefore has little measured support.

None of the five titles on torque and power limits names a transmission rating. They concern cueing a pilot against a torque limit and the power available behind an engine inlet filter, so the finding that a gearbox rating rather than the engines bound the X-49A rests on the patent and the NASA transmission test cited in the subsection on the transmission rather than on a literature.

One title measures the equivalent parasite drag area of a single-rotor helicopter in flight, the quantity the cube law above multiplies, and neither title that names a ring tail or a ring fin concerns the Piasecki ring tail. No title names the vectored thrust ducted propeller or the retrofitting of an existing helicopter, which are this article’s two subjects.

The designation subject has no literature that a title search can separate from its homonyms. The words designation, nomenclature and classification also name Massachusetts tax valuations of 1771, salmonella serotype naming and dental implant designation systems, and in the aerospace literature they mostly name components rather than aircraft. How aircraft are numbered is a subject whose vocabulary does not discriminate, and the claim about the skipped designation therefore stands on the sponsor’s own account rather than on a survey.

What the Survey Admits

A record is admitted only when a person reading its title finds that it bears on a subject this article’s argument uses, read against the article and not against a shared word. Those subjects are the rotor speed limit, the aerodynamics, airloads, wakes and dynamics of rotors, compounding, lift sharing and the high-speed configurations set against it, propellers, ducts and thrust vectoring in any fluid, anti-torque and directional control, momentum theory and download, the aerodynamics of wings and bodies and parasite and hub drag, the performance, propulsion, drive systems, weight and sizing of aircraft, rotorcraft vibration, fatigue loads and aeroelasticity, flight dynamics, control and handling qualities, flight test practice, autorotation, the standard atmosphere, and the programmes and engineering evaluations of rotorcraft. The residual cluster admits a record that meets this rule and belongs neither to a named cluster nor to a group of titles large enough to name.

Many of the words this subject depends on also name something else, and a record that shares only such a word is excluded. Rotor blade also names the compressor and turbine blades of turbomachinery, and rotor also names electric motors and generators, the shafts, bearings and pumps of industrial machinery, and rotor spun yarn. Drag reduction also names polymer, surfactant, microbubble and air-layer drag reduction in liquids, much of it on ship hulls, and drag also names embedment anchors and cross-country skiing. Weight estimation also names the weighing of cattle, patients, fruit and gemstones and the estimation of foetal weight. Ducted also names radio, acoustic and heat transfer ducts, the ducted rocket and ramjet of solid-propellant missile propulsion, and domestic air conditioning. Atmosphere also names conditioning atmospheres, autorotation has senses that are not a rotor’s, auxiliary propulsion and thrusters have spacecraft senses, vehicle also names road and rail vehicles, and wing also names a military unit. A record whose only link to this article is a distant application domain is excluded as well, among them missiles, projectiles and ballistics, weapons and the external stores of fixed-wing aircraft, launch vehicles and spacecraft, supersonic and hypersonic flow, reentry and rarefied gas flow, the structures, flutter, aeroelasticity, avionics, electrical systems and maintenance of fixed-wing aircraft, the flight dynamics, control and type testing of fixed-wing aircraft, research aircraft built to test a technology this argument does not use, sensors carried by aircraft and the detection of aircraft, aeromedical and training studies, and animal flight. A record on a rotorcraft is excluded too when its subject is one this argument does not use, being noise and acoustics, icing and ice protection, crashworthiness, occupant protection, safety management and accident analysis, training and human factors, avionics, navigation, sensors and autonomy, military operations, logistics, acquisition, maintenance, health monitoring and failure analysis, external and slung loads, landing gear and ground basing, and the materials, manufacture, repair and inspection of blades and airframes. The noise exclusion does not reach a title whose subject is retreating blade stall or the advancing tip Mach number itself. Editorial notices are excluded as well, because a survey counts research works. A record goes when its digital object identifier carries the numbered notice suffix the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics gives a correction, or when its title opens with Correction, Correction to, Errata or Retracted Article, and the index from the back matter of a book, a whole proceedings volume, an appendix of tables and a terse title that names no subject are excluded for the same reason. A review of a book, a reference or definition entry such as a glossary, a news or editorial notice and a second deposit of a document the survey already holds are not admitted either, while an authored encyclopedia article of more than two pages and a textbook chapter are research works and stay.

Some records of doubtful relevance are kept, being open wind, tidal and hydrokinetic turbine rotors analysed by blade element momentum theory, marine ducted propellers, pump-jets and propulsors, rocket nozzle and missile thrust vectoring and missile aerodynamics, stores separating through a rotor’s downwash, generic turbulent skin-friction drag reduction in air and the drag of plates and bodies, flapping wings in the hover, the autorotation of seeds, plates and other free bodies, a thrust-vectored submersible, and the high-lift wings of racing cars. Each shares the physics of a duct, a rotor, vectored thrust or drag with this subject, so each is kept and a reader may weigh it accordingly.

Every research title has been read for relevance, so the off-topic share that remains is a matter of reading judgement and not of sampling. A reading of titles cannot show that a work is relevant in substance, so this is a statement about titles only.

Epistemic State

Historical Fact

The designation skip and the reason given for it, the 2000 Navy contract and the 2004 transfer to the Army, the first flight date and duration, the flight and hour counts, the base airframe, the wing’s origin, the modification weight, the reported hover result and the qualitative speed and vibration results, and the content of the unbuilt second phase. The 16H-1 and 16H-1A dates, engines, weights, dimensions and speeds. Several of these rest on one source. The modification weight and the flight and hour counts come from the general reference alone, which flags the counts as needing a citation, the reason for the designation skip comes from one secondary compilation that reports it, and the 16H-1A’s speed and its date come from the manufacturer and one magazine history.

Verified by Independent Derivation

The agreement of the Seahawk’s published rotor diameter with the UH-60A radius. The tip speed of 724.9 feet per second and the hover tip Mach number of 0.649. The nominal-chord solidity of 0.0821 and the blade loading of 0.0761. Every advance ratio, retreating tip speed and advancing tip Mach number in the table. The rotor speed of 225.5 revolutions per minute required to hold the advancing tip at Mach 0.90 at the never-exceed speed, and the 12.6 percent reduction that implies. The disc loading, induced velocity and slipstream dynamic pressure, and the identity between slipstream dynamic pressure and disc loading. The download of 11.6 to 14.5 pounds per square foot of wing. The modification weight as 10.5 percent of empty weight and 23.9 percent of useful load. The 380 stranded horsepower and its 10.1 percent share. The power loadings of 6.44 and 8.64 pounds per shaft horsepower and the ratio of 1.342. The conversions of the published speeds from kilometres per hour to knots, of 190 knots to 218.65 miles per hour and of 203 miles per hour to 176.4 knots, and the 6.35 mile per hour deficit. The power loading ratio of 0.994 at the 8,000 pound gross weight.

Analysis

That compounding relieves the retreating blade and does nothing for the advancing one, and that at Seahawk rotor speed the advancing tip therefore binds first. That the transmission rather than the engines was the constraint, and that this explains a third engine driving the duct directly. That the correct figure of merit for this aeroplane is the retrofit rather than the top speed.

Inference

That phase one’s envelope restriction, rather than the aerodynamics, is why the demonstrated speed fell short of the target. That the flaperons exist in part to manage hover download, a reading of the configuration that no source states as a rationale. That the published 350 and 410 kilometre per hour figures are rounded conversions of 190 and 220 knots, and that 130 knots represents the unmodified aeroplane’s cruise, the two assumptions beneath the advance ratio table. That the YSH-60F carried the UH-60A rotor’s published geometry and speed, the SH-60B’s published weights and engine rating, and the SH-60B’s improved durability gearbox, which are the assumptions the sizing rests on.

What the Record Does Not Settle

The X-49A’s demonstrated maximum speed, which the record gives as a converted 350 kilometres per hour and as 203 miles per hour in a slight descent. The 16H-1A’s gross weight, given as 10,800, 8,000 and by sum 7,900 pounds. The 16H-1A’s engine rating, given on the manufacturer’s page as both 1,250 and 1,050 shaft horsepower. The wing area, and therefore the actual download. The duct’s efficiency in forward flight, where the static augmentation of 1.26 decays at a rate no source consulted gives. The duct’s weight and yaw authority against a tail rotor. The SH-60F’s stall boundary in advance ratio. Which engine variant the X-49A flew with, and the YSH-60F’s own empty weight, rotor and gearbox rating. Whether the rotor speed was reduced at all in flight. What the aeroplane would have done with the drag clean-up and the third engine, the question a reader most wants answered, and the one the record cannot reach.

Out of Scope

The Dragonfly canard rotor wing, which is the next article. The Cheyenne compound, which followed the 16H-1A and whose end the 16H-1A’s manufacturer attributes to deficiencies unrelated to compounding. The tiltrotor as an alternative answer, which has its own literature and its own article. The acoustic signature of a ducted propulsor. Piasecki’s later Future Vertical Lift bid. The naval mission the SH-60F flies, and whether a faster one would be worth 1,600 pounds.

Conclusion

The X-49A is an aeroplane whose most quoted number is the least interesting thing about it. It is credited with 190 knots, which is 6.35 miles per hour slower than a Piasecki compound had managed by April 1966 on three-quarters of the power per pound at the 16H-1A’s heaviest quoted weight, a fraction that is the reciprocal of the 1.342 computed above and far short of the margin it is tempting to write. Read as a race that is embarrassing, and read as a race it is also the wrong reading.

The aeroplane existed to find out what a duct and a wing do to a helicopter somebody already owns. On that question it returned useful numbers. Vibration and fatigue loads reported as significantly reduced. Hover within 3.7 percent of prediction. The duct doing anti-torque, yaw and thrust at once. And 1,600 pounds as the bill, which is about a tenth of the empty airframe and nearly a quarter of everything it could otherwise have carried.

The arithmetic then makes a point the programme did not need to state. Compounding brings relief to the retreating blade, and the X-49A spent that relief well, reaching an advance ratio of 0.442, beyond the 0.4 that bounds the conventional helicopter regime. But the advancing tip was at Mach 0.937 when it got there, and the never-exceed speed would have put it at 0.982.

Neither a drag clean-up nor a third engine moves a Mach number. The only term left is the rotor speed, and lowering it by the required 12.6 percent is a different aeroplane, with different dynamics, a different autorotation entry and a fresh clearance to earn. The programme stopped where the cheap variables ran out.

The designation is the same story in another register. The number was skipped so that a more interesting-sounding aeroplane could have a rounder one, and the aeroplane that got the round number crashed twice and never converted. The X-49 took the number nobody wanted and flew more than eighty hours with it.

Equations

This section collects the 41 display equations of the article in the order they appear, each under its number and reproduced exactly as it stands in the text. A title in bold names an established result, and a title in italics beginning with the word Bespoke names a construction made for this analysis. Of the 41, 22 are established and 19 are bespoke. The rotor and wing relations are evaluated in feet, pounds, slugs and knots at sea level, with a knot taken as 1.68781 feet per second, and several letters are reused, so $N$ is the blade count in the solidity and the rotor speed in revolutions per minute in the slowed-rotor relation, $A$ is the rotor disc area while $A_d$ is the duct disc area, $T$ and $P$ are the rotor thrust and power in the hover relations and the propulsor thrust and power in the duct relations, and $f$ is the fraction of weight the wing carries while $f_e$ is the equivalent flat plate area.

Equation 1, Advancing and Retreating Tip Speeds. In forward flight the advancing tip sees the tip speed plus the flight speed and the retreating tip sees their difference. Prouty, Helicopter performance, stability and control Stepniewski and Keys, Rotary-wing aerodynamics

\[V_{\text{adv}} = \Omega R + V, \qquad V_{\text{ret}} = \Omega R - V \tag{1}\]

Equation 2, Advance Ratio. The advance ratio is the flight speed divided by the rotor tip speed. Prouty, Helicopter performance, stability and control Stepniewski and Keys, Rotary-wing aerodynamics

\[\mu = \frac{V}{\Omega R} \tag{2}\]

Equation 3, Dynamic Pressure at the Retreating Tip. The dynamic pressure at the retreating tip falls relative to the hover as the square of one minus the advance ratio. Leishman, Principles of helicopter aerodynamics Johnson, Helicopter theory

\[\frac{q_{\text{ret}}}{q_{\text{hover}}} = \left(\frac{\Omega R - V}{\Omega R}\right)^{2} = (1-\mu)^{2} \tag{3}\]

Equation 4, Required Lift Coefficient at the Retreating Tip. To carry the same section lift at reduced dynamic pressure the retreating tip needs a lift coefficient larger by the inverse square of one minus the advance ratio. Leishman, Principles of helicopter aerodynamics Johnson, Helicopter theory

\[\frac{c_{\ell,\text{req}}}{c_{\ell,\text{hover}}} = \frac{1}{(1-\mu)^{2}} \tag{4}\]

Equation 5, Reverse Flow Region as a Fraction of the Disc. The reverse flow region is a circle of diameter $\mu R$ tangent to the hub, so its share of the disc area is one quarter of the square of the advance ratio. Jenkins 1966

\[\frac{A_{\text{reverse}}}{A} = \frac{\pi (\mu R/2)^{2}}{\pi R^{2}} = \frac{\mu^{2}}{4} \tag{5}\]

Equation 6, Seahawk Rotor Radius from the Published Diameter. Half the published rotor diameter of 53 feet 8 inches is 26.83 feet, which agrees with the radius in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration airloads report. Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk Kufeld, Romander, Dominguez and Dromiack, UH-60A airloads flight test program, NASA/TM-2019-220317

\[\frac{53 + 8/12}{2} = 26.83\ \text{ft} \tag{6}\]

Equation 7, Bespoke Rotor Tip Speed of the X-49A. The tip speed of 724.9 feet per second follows from the UH-60A rotor speed of 258 revolutions per minute and radius of 26.83 feet, on the assumption that the YSH-60F rotor shares that published geometry and speed. Kufeld, Romander, Dominguez and Dromiack, UH-60A airloads flight test program, NASA/TM-2019-220317

\[\Omega R = \frac{258 \times 2\pi}{60} \times 26.83 = 724.9\ \text{ft/s} \tag{7}\]

Equation 8, Bespoke Hover Tip Mach Number. The assumed tip speed divided by the standard sea-level speed of sound of 1,116.45 feet per second gives a hover tip Mach number of 0.649, a derived value that no source publishes for this rotor. U.S. Standard Atmosphere 1976 1976

\[M_{\text{tip}}^{\text{hover}} = \frac{724.9}{1116.45} = 0.649 \tag{8}\]

Equation 9, Rotor Solidity from the Nominal Chord. The solidity is the blade area divided by the disc area, and four blades of the nominal 1.73 foot chord give 0.0821 against the reported geometric solidity of 0.0826. Kufeld, Romander, Dominguez and Dromiack, UH-60A airloads flight test program, NASA/TM-2019-220317

\[\sigma = \frac{N c}{\pi R} = \frac{4 \times 1.73}{\pi \times 26.83} = 0.0821 \tag{9}\]

Equation 10, Bespoke Blade Loading at Mission Gross Weight. The blade loading coefficient evaluated at the SH-60B mission gross weight of 17,758 pounds and sea-level density is 0.0761, on the assumed UH-60A rotor geometry and tip speed. Bramwell, Done and Balmford, Bramwell’s helicopter dynamics Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk

\[\frac{C_T}{\sigma} = \frac{W}{\rho A (\Omega R)^{2} \sigma} = \frac{17{,}758}{0.0023769 \times 2{,}261.5 \times 724.9^{2} \times 0.0826} = 0.0761 \tag{10}\]

Equation 11, Practical Cruise Limit Converted to Knots. The magazine figure of about 140 statute miles per hour converts to 121.7 knots. Chiles, Hot-rod helicopters, Air & Space

\[140 \times \frac{5280}{6076.12} = 121.7\ \text{kt} \tag{11}\]

Equation 12, Lift Carried by a Wing. A wing carrying a fraction $f$ of the weight must generate that lift from the dynamic pressure, its area and its lift coefficient.

\[f W = \tfrac{1}{2} \rho V^{2} S_w C_L \tag{12}\]

Equation 13, Bespoke Wing Area Required at 190 Knots. The lift equation solved for wing area is evaluated at the dynamic pressure of 190 knots, the demonstrated maximum speed as this article reads the published kilometre figure.

\[S_w = \frac{f W}{q C_L}, \qquad q(190\ \text{kt}) = 122.2\ \text{lb/ft}^{2} \tag{13}\]

Equation 14, Bespoke Rotor Blade Loading of the Compound. The rotor blade loading is reduced in exact proportion to the share of weight the wing takes, a model that assumes the wing carries its fraction with no interference or download on the rotor.

\[\left(\frac{C_T}{\sigma}\right)_{\text{compound}} = (1-f)\left(\frac{C_T}{\sigma}\right)_{\text{pure}} \tag{14}\]

Equation 15, Bespoke Tip Speed That Holds the Advancing Tip at Mach 0.90. Holding the advancing tip at a chosen Mach 0.90 at the never-exceed speed of 220 knots, which is the article’s reading of the published figure, requires a tip speed of 633.5 feet per second.

\[\Omega R = 0.90 \times 1116.45 - 220 \times 1.68781 = 633.5\ \text{ft/s} \tag{15}\]

Equation 16, Bespoke Rotor Speed Reduction Required. The required tip speed on the 26.83 foot radius is 225.5 revolutions per minute, a reduction of 12.6 percent from the assumed Seahawk rotor speed of 258.

\[N = \frac{633.5}{26.83} \times \frac{60}{2\pi} = 225.5\ \text{rpm}, \qquad 1 - \frac{225.5}{258} = 12.6\ \text{percent} \tag{16}\]

Equation 17, Bespoke Conversion Weight Against Empty and Maximum Weight. The 1,600 pound conversion is expressed against the SH-60B empty and maximum take-off weights, on the stated assumption that those figures apply to the YSH-60F. Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk

\[\frac{1600}{15200} = 10.5\ \text{percent}, \qquad \frac{1600}{21884} = 7.3\ \text{percent} \tag{17}\]

Equation 18, Useful Load of the SH-60B. The useful load is the published maximum take-off weight less the published empty weight, and equals the payload the same reference states. Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk

\[W_{\text{useful}} = 21{,}884 - 15{,}200 = 6{,}684\ \text{lb} \tag{18}\]

Equation 19, Bespoke Conversion Weight as a Share of Useful Load. The 1,600 pound conversion takes 23.9 percent of the SH-60B useful load, on the stated assumption that the SH-60B weights apply to the YSH-60F.

\[\frac{1600}{6684} = 23.9\ \text{percent} \tag{19}\]

Equation 20, Disc Loading at Maximum Gross Weight. The published maximum take-off weight divided by the disc area of the published rotor diameter gives a disc loading of 9.68 pounds per square foot.

\[\frac{W}{A} = \frac{21884}{2261.5} = 9.68\ \text{lb/ft}^{2} \tag{20}\]

Equation 21, Induced Velocity and Slipstream Dynamic Pressure in the Hover. Momentum theory gives the induced velocity from the disc loading and sea-level density, and the fully developed slipstream at twice that velocity has a dynamic pressure equal to the disc loading. McCormick, Aerodynamics, aeronautics and flight mechanics

\[v_i = \sqrt{\frac{W/A}{2\rho}} = 45.1\ \text{ft/s}, \qquad q_{\text{slip}} = \tfrac{1}{2}\rho (2 v_i)^{2} = 9.68\ \text{lb/ft}^{2} \tag{21}\]

Equation 22, Bespoke Download per Unit Wing Area. The download per square foot of wing is the slipstream dynamic pressure times a broadside drag coefficient the article takes as 1.2 to 1.5.

\[\frac{D}{S_w} = q_{\text{slip}} C_D = 11.6\ \text{to}\ 14.5\ \text{lb per square foot of wing} \tag{22}\]

Equation 23, Hover Power Penalty of Download. The rotor must lift the weight plus the download, and by momentum theory the hover power rises as the three-halves power of the thrust ratio.

\[T_{\text{req}} = W + D_{\text{dn}}, \qquad \frac{P}{P_0} = \left(\frac{T_{\text{req}}}{W}\right)^{3/2} \tag{23}\]

Equation 24, Bespoke Stranded Engine Power. Two engines of 1,890 shaft horsepower against a gearbox rated at 3,400 strand 380 shaft horsepower, 10.1 percent of take-off power, on the assumption that the YSH-60F carried the improved durability gearbox. Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk Blunt, Synchronous averaging of epicyclic sun gear vibration, US Patent 6,898,975

\[2 \times 1890 - 3400 = 380\ \text{shp}, \qquad \frac{380}{3780} = 10.1\ \text{percent} \tag{24}\]

Equation 25, Helicopter Power Components and Parasite Power. Helicopter power is the sum of induced, profile and parasite terms, and the parasite power rises as the cube of speed times the equivalent flat plate area. Prouty, Helicopter performance, stability and control

\[P = P_i + P_o + P_p, \qquad P_p = \tfrac{1}{2}\rho V^{3} f_e \tag{25}\]

Equation 26, Bespoke Parasite Power Ratio Between Baseline and Demonstrated Speed. At fixed flat plate area the parasite power rises by the cube of the speed ratio, evaluated between an assumed baseline cruise of 130 knots and the 190 knots this article reads as the demonstrated maximum.

\[\frac{P_p(190)}{P_p(130)} = \left(\frac{190}{130}\right)^{3} = 3.12 \tag{26}\]

Equation 27, Momentum and Energy Flux of an Actuator Disc. The thrust of an actuator disc is the mass flow times the far wake velocity and its power is the kinetic energy flux, which equals the thrust times the velocity at the disc.

\[T = \dot{m}\, w, \qquad P = \tfrac{1}{2}\dot{m}\, w^{2} = T v_i \tag{27}\]

Equation 28, Slipstream Contraction of an Open Rotor. Since the far wake moves at twice the velocity at the disc, continuity contracts the slipstream to half the disc area.

\[A_\infty v_\infty = A_d v_d \implies \frac{A_\infty}{A_d} = \frac{v_d}{2 v_d} = \frac{1}{2} \tag{28}\]

Equation 29, Mass Flow and Exit Velocity of a Ducted Propulsor. With the exit area held by the duct, the mass flow is set at the disc and the exit velocity is the disc velocity divided by the ratio of exit to disc area. Theodorsen 1960b Meyerhoff and Zvengrowski 1962

\[\dot{m} = \rho A_d v_d, \qquad v_e = \frac{v_d}{\sigma_d} \tag{29}\]

Equation 30, Thrust and Power of a Ducted Propulsor. The ducted actuator disc thrust is the mass flow times the exit velocity and its power is the kinetic energy flux of the exit stream. Theodorsen 1960b Meyerhoff and Zvengrowski 1962

\[T = \dot{m} v_e = \frac{\rho A_d v_d^{2}}{\sigma_d}, \qquad P = \tfrac{1}{2}\dot{m} v_e^{2} = \frac{\rho A_d v_d^{3}}{2\sigma_d^{2}} \tag{30}\]

Equation 31, Static Thrust Augmentation of a Duct. Eliminating the disc velocity at constant power and disc area gives a thrust ratio over the open rotor of the cube root of twice the exit area ratio. Theodorsen 1960b Meyerhoff and Zvengrowski 1962

\[\frac{T}{T_{\text{open}}} = (2\sigma_d)^{1/3} \tag{31}\]

Equation 32, Augmentation with the Exit at the Disc Area. A duct that holds the exit area equal to the disc area gives 26 percent more static thrust than an open rotor for the same power.

\[\frac{T}{T_{\text{open}}} = 2^{1/3} = 1.26 \tag{32}\]

Equation 33, Encyclopaedia Speeds Converted to Knots. The published maximum, cruise and never-exceed speeds of 350, 250 and 410 kilometres per hour convert to 189.0, 135.0 and 221.4 knots. Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk

\[\frac{350}{1.852} = 189.0\ \text{kt}, \qquad \frac{250}{1.852} = 135.0\ \text{kt}, \qquad \frac{410}{1.852} = 221.4\ \text{kt} \tag{33}\]

Equation 34, Bespoke Check of the Adopted Speeds. The 190 and 220 knot values the article adopts convert to 351.9 and 407.4 kilometres per hour, which supports reading the published figures as rounded conversions.

\[190 \times 1.852 = 351.9\ \text{km/h}, \qquad 220 \times 1.852 = 407.4\ \text{km/h} \tag{34}\]

Equation 35, Bespoke Shortfall Against the Speed Objective. The shortfall is the 200 knot objective less the 190 knots this article takes as the demonstrated maximum. X-49 SpeedHawk vectored thrust ducted propeller, GlobalSecurity

\[200 - 190 = 10\ \text{kt}, \qquad \frac{10}{200} = 5\ \text{percent of the objective} \tag{35}\]

Equation 36, Bespoke Speed Comparison with the 16H-1A. The 190 knots this article takes as the X-49A maximum converts to 218.65 statute miles per hour, 6.35 below the 225 miles per hour of the 16H-1A. 16H-1A Pathfinder II, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation Robb, Hybrid helicopters, Vertiflite

\[190 \times \frac{6076.12}{5280} = 218.65\ \text{mph}, \qquad 225 - 218.65 = 6.35\ \text{mph}, \qquad 225 \times \frac{5280}{6076.12} = 195.5\ \text{kt} \tag{36}\]

Equation 37, Bespoke Ratio of Power Loadings. The ratio sets the 16H-1A at 10,800 pounds and 1,250 horsepower against the X-49A at the SH-60B maximum weight and an assumed 3,400 shaft horsepower gearbox rating. Piasecki 16H Pathfinder 16H-1A Pathfinder II, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation

\[\frac{(W/P)_{16H}}{(W/P)_{X49}} = \frac{10{,}800/1{,}250}{21{,}884/3{,}400} = \frac{8.64}{6.44} = 1.342 \tag{37}\]

Equation 38, Advancing Tip Mach Number. The advancing tip Mach number is the sum of the tip speed and flight speed divided by the speed of sound.

\[M_{\text{adv}} = \frac{\Omega R + V}{a} \tag{38}\]

Equation 39, Bespoke Ratio of Power Loadings at the Lighter Gross Weight. Taking the 16H-1A gross weight as the 8,000 pounds of the Vertipedia database, with the same assumed X-49A gearbox rating, brings the ratio to 0.994. Piasecki 16H-1A Pathfinder II, Vertipedia

\[\frac{(W/P)_{16H}}{(W/P)_{X49}} = \frac{8{,}000/1{,}250}{21{,}884/3{,}400} = \frac{6.40}{6.44} = 0.994 \tag{39}\]

Equation 40, Bespoke Ratio of Power Loadings at the Lower Engine Rating. Taking the 16H-1A engine as 1,050 shaft horsepower from the manufacturer’s narrative, with the same assumed X-49A gearbox rating, raises the ratio to 1.598. 16H-1A Pathfinder II, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation

\[\frac{(W/P)_{16H}}{(W/P)_{X49}} = \frac{10{,}800/1{,}050}{21{,}884/3{,}400} = \frac{10.29}{6.44} = 1.598 \tag{40}\]

Equation 41, Bespoke Manufacturer’s Speed Against the Adopted Maximum. The 203 miles per hour the company gave converts to 176.4 knots, 13.6 knots below the 190 knots this article adopts. Chiles, Hot-rod helicopters, Air & Space

\[203 \times \frac{5280}{6076.12} = 176.4\ \text{kt}, \qquad 190 - 176.4 = 13.6\ \text{kt} \tag{41}\]
