Hi there,
Some data for the CH53e yasim model, taken from Prouty [1], p. 699. Looking at the data in cvs, rotor diameters and chords should/could be changed, just like control input ranges for the main and tail rotor. Weights (lb): - Empty: 33009 - MTOW (internal payload): 69750 - MTOW (external payload): 73500 - Fuel capacity (norm): 6682 - Fuel capacity (aux): 8450 Engines: - Type: General Electric T64-GE-416 - Number: 3 - Max T.O. rating: 13140 - Max usable power: 11570 Rotor Parameters: Main Tail - Radius (ft): 39.5 10 - Chord (ft): 2.44 1.28 - solidity 0.138 0.163 - No. of blades: 7 4 - Tip speed (ft/sec): 732 733 - twist (deg): -20 -8 - equiv. linear hinge offset ration (e/R): 0.063 0.043 - Airfoil: SC1095 NACA 0015 - Collective range (deg): -1.4 to 19.6 -10 to 24 - Longitudinal cyclic range (deg): -8.5 to 18.0 - - Lateral cyclic range (deg): -9.8 to 6.1 - - Polar moment of inertia (slug ft^2) 51800 181 Greetings, Wim [1] Prouty, R.
