National Campaign Adds Helicopter Flights

NASA’s Advanced Air Mobility National Campaign created a visual aid, known as a tetherball, to serve as the helicopter pilot’s height reference while flying different task elements at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, Nov. 8-10. The Bell OH-58 Kiowa helicopter provided by Flight Research Inc. was used to study urban air mobility vehicle performance and flying qualities requirements.
