Abstract
The Hughes Model 530MG Defender is a well-established state-of-the art rotorcraft which incorporates advances in performance as well as in cockpit and weaponization designs with minimal weight growth.
Special attention is given to the theme that a ‘simple, low weight, agile, and effective flying platform’ with growth capability is available today. Its purpose is to provide broad mission flexibility for military services with variations in operational and environmental requirements around the world.
Substantiation of this theme is shown by comparative information in the form of tables, charts, and diagrams which contain a variety of parametric relationships, design configurations, and associated data.
An effort is made to show that advances in performance as well as in the designs of an integrated cockpit and a modular, quick-change weapon system are present today and are expected to be standard for the U.S. Army’s LHX advanced helicopter series.
