borne at 55 knots, with 900 rpm on its 14-foot diameter telescopingaluminum rotor blades, at a gross weight of about 700 pounds. Handlingand control qualities were as predicted before flight, Foster reported.

The test vehicle has a control stick for cyclic pitch, twin rudders activa-ted by foot pedals and a throttle. For ground operation, braking on themain wheels and nosewheel steering also are accomplished by foot pedals.

Kaman's SAVER project began in December, 1968, with a preliminarydesign and feasibility study sponsored by NADC. Fabrication of a fullscale wind tunnel model followed. This model was tested in the windtunnel at NASA-Ames Research Center in California in September, 1970,and vehicle feasibility and rotor deployment were demonstrated.

Current phase of Kaman's contract calls for limited flight demon-strations of the autogyro-configured vehicle. Next milestone in the devel-opment sequence would be successful deployment of the basic vehicle inan unmanned air drop test, To date, the government has invested approx-imately a half million dollars in the SAVER program.

LAMPS Activities ....

By Bruce Goodale,

LAMPS Program Manager

Delivery of the SH-2D LAMPS SEASPRITES which be-gan in September, 1971, continues on schedule at the rateof two to three per month. By the end of March, 197 2, atotal of 20 will be in Fleet use.

HC-4 at NAS Lakehurst, N. J., the designated LAMPSsquadron for the Atlantic Fleet, was first to receive itsSH-2D. It was deployed on a successful training cruise inNovember aboard the USS \{ainwright (DLG 28). HC-4also became the first to send the SH-2D to an operationaltheater when its LAMPS Detachment and helo were airlift-ed to the Mediterranean. Here they joined the USS Belk-nap (DLG 26) in early December.

HC-5 at NAS Imperial Beach, Calif., the designatedLAMPS squadron for the Pacific Fleet, deployed its firstSH-2D in mid-December on a successful training cruiseoperating from the USS Sterett (DLG 31). This firstLAMPS Detachment from HC-5 is scheduled for operation-al deployment to the Pacific theater with the USS Sterettin January, 1972.

The high degree of enthusiasm shown by the DestroyerNavy in anticipation and acceptance of this new additionto their weapons system has been striking, as has been thecooperation between the ship and,air personnel of bothFleets.

The Naval Air Development Center, Warminister, Pa., istasked with developing the next generation of LAMPSequipment, called Mark II, for the SH-2D, and will flighttest potential components as part of their D/V-98 At-Seahogram before mid-summer 1972. Kaman is working withNADC to configure two HH-2D's for these tests.

The next issue of Rotor Tips will report on early opera-tional experiences with the SH-2D, and the progress ofMK-II development.

ABOARD THE FLAGSHIP-RAdm Sheldon H. Kinney,Commander, Cruiser Destroyer Force, U. S. Pacific Fleet,and Will iam R. Murray, vice president of Test and Develop-ment for Kaman Aerospace Corporation, examine SEA-SPRITE model on the admiral's desk aboard his flagship,the USS Dixie (AD14). The Dixie is a destroyer tender.Admiral Kinney was host for the San Diego Navy Basepress briefing at which the SH-2D LAMPS SEASPRITEwas introduced and the LAMPS mission explained to thepÍess. Admiral Kinney recalled that his first associationwith Kaman helicopters was in 1958 when he was com-manding officer of the frigate USS Mitscher (DL-2), duringfl ight tests oÍ the Kaman HTK radio controlled helicopter.

The SH-2D LAMPS SEASPRITE was introduced to theU. S. Pacific Fleet and to West Coast newsmen on Novem-ber 19. During the day-long briefing, a series of programswas presented at NAS Imperial Beach, Calif., by HC-5 andaboard the USS Sterett (DLG 31) and USS Dixie (4D14)at San Diego Navy Base by the public affairs office of theCommander Cruiser Destroyer Force Pacific (COMCRU-DESPAC).

The guided missile frigate Sterett is the first Pacific Fleetwarship to be equipped with the Light Airborne Multi-Pur-pose System and was scheduled for deployment to theWestern Pacific in January.

RAdm Sheldon H. Kinney, COMCRUDESPAC, and CaptJack Hilton, skipper of the Sterett, told newsmen that the

Varied Missions For Oceana SAR UnitDuring a two-week period, HH-2D SEASpRITE crews

from the SAR Unit at NAS Ocêana, Va.: medevaced a manwith an injured eye from the USS Biddle to the hospital;guided ground parties to the site where an H-46 had madea forced landing at night; also at night, located a small civi-lian boat in Chesapeake Bay and assisted the Coast Guard:medevaced an injured sailor from the USS Boulder.

Manning the HH-2D on the first mission were Lt(jg) JohnS. Mastin, pilot; Lt William R. Builer, Jr., copilot; ADR1Edward B. Hess and AMS3 Walter p. Mueller. crewmen.To make the pickup, Lieutenant Mastin landed on the deckof the Biddle and the patient and a corpsman were takenaboard. Less than half an hour later the injured man was inPortsmouth Naval Hospital.

A few days later, NAS Oceana received the followingmessage of appreciation from the USS Biddle:

"Please express my appreciation to all concerned witharranging air medevac on Biddle, 4 Nov 21. Individualmedevaced recuperating at Navhosp, portsmouth, and isexpected to return to full duty in near future. It is com_forting to know that responsive individuals are as close asthe radio in time of need."

In another message, from COMNAVAIRLANT, VAdmRobert L. Townsend said that he had ..noted with pleasure,'the message from the Biddle.

The second mission began with a call for assistance afteran H-46 with 10 people aboard had a dual engine flame-outshortly after 10:L5 p.m. and landed in a small pond inabout three feet of water. The HH-2D crew was over theaccident site 15 minutes after launching in response to theemergency.

After ascertaining that all aboard the downed helo wereuninjured, the SEASPRITE crew used flood lights and theloud hailer to direet the ground rescue crew to the scene.

SEaspntre"êficTlvlrrEs

After the ground party arrived, Lt Robert H. pasco landedthe HH-2D on a sandy landfill next to the pond and pickedup four persons and their baggage from the H-46 and air-lifted them to NAS Norfolk. Another Navy helo and onefrom the Coast Guard picked up the rest of the survivors.

Flying with Lieutenant Pasco on the mission were Lt(jg)John J. Stahl, copiloh AMH2 Kenneth N. Conner andAMEAN Timothy J. Patrick, crewmen.

The Oceana HH-2D launched into the moonless sky onthe third mission after a small boat, out of gas in Chesa-peake Bay, flashed an SOS which was spotted by a passingcivilian plane. The SEASPRITE was on the scene 1b min-utes later. Lt David D. Bashista hovered the helicopterabove the dark waters of the bay and by using the loudhailer, it was determined that no medical assistance wasnecessary. A flare was dropped by the HH-2D crew to aida Coast Guard cutter in locating the stranded boat and theposition was also radioed to the surface vessel.

The SEASPRITE left itre scene after the cutter appearedalongside and advised that no further assistance was need-ed. Other members of the rescue helicopter's crew wereLt(jg) Robert R. Stone, copilot; AMS2 Ernest parnell andADR2 Harold C. Jackson. crewmen.

On the fourth mission, Lieutenant pasco and his crewtook off from NAS Oceana and headed for the USSBoulder, after a call for assistance was received from theLST a few miles off-shore. Shortly afterward, the HH-2Dlanded on the deck of the vessel and the injured sailor, whohad suffered internal injuries in a fall down a ladder, wasplaced aboard the helicopter. A corpsman from the shipaccompanied the patient on the flight to the portsmouthNaval Hospital where a landing was made in a nearbybaseball field. With Lieutenant Pasco on the mission wereLt(jg) Jean H. Daugherty, the copilot; petty Officer Muellerand Airman Patrick, cre\trmen.

Det 22 MAST Mission Saves TwoThree-day weekends are a joy to most people-Columbus

Day weekend was just such a holiday and most people wereout enjoying an outing or working in the yard in the"Indian Summer" weather. But for the men of Det 22,42 ARRSq, it was "business as usual." During the four-dayperiod from Thursday to Sunday,the detachment, workingunder the MAST Program(Military Assistance to Safety andTïaffic), launched an HH-43B from Mountain Home AFB,Id., four times on rescue missions and recorded two saves.

The action started Wednesday night when a call wasreceived from the Elmore County, Id., sheriff that a hunterhad been kicked by a horse and had a suspected broken leg.The victim was at a small lake in the Trinity Mountain areaat the 7500-foot level. Because of the darkness and ruggedterrain, the aircraft commander elected for a first lighttake off. The helicopter left the base at daybreak Thursdaymorning, proceeded to the site, and landed in a nearbyclearing. The crew then hiked over a small hill to the in-jured person's camp. Because of the rough walk back tothe HUSKIE, it was decided to hover over the victim andhoist him out in the Stokes litter. He was then flown to aBoise Hospital and treated for severe leg injuries.

Friday morning the unit received another plea for aid. Aman working on a road crew in the mountains about 50miles north of Boise had suffered a heart attack. The heli-copter left at 1000 for the site. After landing at a nearbyRanger Station the flight surgeon, Capt Peter Swanson(MC), and medical technician, TSgt Bedford T. Lockard,administered emergency treatment, including oxygen. Atthe time of pickup the patient was in poor condition. Hewas flown to a Boise Hospital where it was determinedthat the quick action of the rescue crew saved his life.

The third mission occurred Saturday. A party of deer

hunters was hunting near Owyhee, Nev., about 50 milesnorth of Elko, when one was thrown from his horse. Hesuffered extensive internal injuries along with several bro-ken bones. The rescue crew arrived on the scene about1930, at twilight, but managed to locate the accidentvictim in the failing light. A landing was made at the 9000-foot level. He was pieked up and airlifted back to a localranch where he was treated by a physician who was inthe hunting party.

The helicopter crew stayed at the ranch over night andflew back to Mountain Home AFB the next morning.Because of the severity of the man's injuries, the doctorfelt sure he would not have survived the night in the ruggedterrain and cold weather. Det 22 was credited with anothersave.

Sunday afternoon the fourth call was received at about1400. A man had been shot while hunting in a ruggedmountainous area, 45 miles northeast of the MountainHome AFB. The HH-43 launched again and proceeded tothe site. The man was quickly found, the helicopter landednearby and first aid was given to the victim. He was thenflown in the HUSKIE to a hospital in Mountain Home.

During this busy weekend the detachment flew 19 sortieswith a total of more than 8 flying hours. Crew on theflight Thursday were Capt Harold W. Jackson, Jr., aircraftcommander; Capt John W. Petersen, copilot; MSgt HubertO. Marsh, helicopter mechanic; and Sgt Sam Arroyo, medi-cal technician. Crew on Friday were Capt John M. Higbie,aircraft commander; Maj Roger L. Engstrom, copilot; SgtDanny hachyl, helicopter mechanic; Capt Peter Swanson,flight surgeon; and TSgt Bedford T. Lockard, medical tech-nician. The crew on Saturday and Sunday were the same,except for Captain Swanson.

TAN SON NHUT AB, RVN (7AF)-The men who builtit named it "HUSKIE," and its sure lived up to the name.When introduced into the U. S. Air Force inventory, it sethelicopter records for weight lifting, altitude and distance.

In Southeast Asia the HH-43 got a new name, "Pedro."And in Southeast Asia it tallied achievements that make aproud name, too, Pedro is credited with saving 1,880people, many from certain death or capture, since it arrivedin 1964. This is more than one half of the 3.400 saves ofthe Third Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Group, theparent rescue unit in the Republic of Vietnam. In fact,Pedro has rescued more people than any other single U. S.Air Force aircraft in Southeast Asia.

Pedro is a unique aircraft in several ways. It is the onlyactive aircraft in the U. S. Air Force inventory to havenon-metal rotor blades. Pedro can launch faster than anyother aircraft in Southeast Asia. Its single jet engine re-quires no warmup, and its five-man crew is airborne in lessthan.90 seconds after the crash phone sounds.

Probably its most recognizable eccentricity is the"strange tank" suspended by cables under the aircraft, theFire Suppression Kit. In the event that a downed aircraftbursts into flames, asbestos-clad firemen may be deployedwith the kit to extinguish a path in the fire by which to res-cue the downed crew.

Because it has a combat radius of only 75 miles withoutauxiliary fuel, the tiny Pedro is now assigned primarily tothe fire-suppression role and local base rescue. The largerHH-3 Jolly Green Giants and HH-53 Super Jolly GreenGiants do the heavy and long-distance work.

It was not always so. In the early days the HH-43 flewfar into North Vietnam to effect daring rescues. With 50-gallon fuel drums strapped in the cabin and the fuel hand-pumped into the aircraft's tanks to extend the range, Pedroflew within 40 miles of Hanoi. It took men of iron to flv

Det 14 Rescues Two Wounded Vietnamese

An HH-43 Pedro rescue crew from Det 14, 3rd ARRGp'

Tan Son Nhut AB, ended a harrowing day recently for two

seriously-wounded Republic of Vietnam Air Force (VNAF)

members. The pair, along with five others, had been in a

VNAF helicopter, shot down approximately 60 miles

from Saigon. Despite heavy ground-fire, a U. S. Army heli-

copter suceeeded in picking up the two men. While pro'

ceeding to Tan Son Nhut, the Army UH'1 developedtrouble. lost a tail rotor and had to crash-land.

A U. S. Air Force HH-43 rescue helicopter was scrambledand arrived at the crash site within 10 minutes. The two

wounded VNAF men were then airlifted to the Vietnam

hospital at Tan Son Nhut. U. S. Army troops secured the

remaining men that were aboatd the Army helicopter.

The Pedro crew members were Capts Henry G. Hamby

III, aircraft commander, and Clayton L. Coston, copilot;

SSgts Norman B. Tenny and Ellis A. Thompson, firefight-

ers, and Anthony M. Fiducia.

During the first nine months in 19?1, ARRS saved the

lives of 548 people throughout the world' Ninety-six of

those were in combat in Southeast Asia.

HUSKIE Happenings - continued from page 15

There When NeededHH-43 crew on a cross-country training flight came

upon a head-on car collision on Highway 71 near Garfield,

Texas, just seconds after it occurred- Holding the HUSKIE

in a hover over the aceident scene, Maj Harry T. Raisor of

Talcott, commander of Det 8, 43rd ARRSq, Bergstrom

AFB, Texas, used the loud speaker system aboard the heli-

copter to ask the people below if any assistance was need-

ed. The people on the ground motioned to the crew for

help, so the HH-43 landed in a nearby field.

The crew discovered that the driver of one of the cars

was bleeding profusely due to serious head injuries' No

ambulance was at the scene, so the crew put the injured

man on the helicopter's litter, arrested the bleeding andplaced him inside the chopper. By this time, an ambulancehad arrived but it was decided that, to save the man's life,the helicopter should be used. Major Raisor and his co-pilot, Capt \{illiam T. Lyon flew the HH-43 to Brecken-ridge Hospital in Austin, about 25 miles away. Doctorsat the hospital credited the helieopter crew with savingthe man's life, and today he is reported in satisfactorycondition.

Other memben of the HUSKIE cre$/ were SSgt RobertL- Schmidt, Capt Leas D. Dickey, AlC Ernest Amader andA1C Howard G. Garrett.

LBR AT HOLLOMAN-The 49th Tactical Fighter Wing lo-

cated at Holloman AFB, N.M., is receiving local base rescue

pÍotection Írom Det 6, 42nd ARRSq, which was establish-ed at the base several weeks ago. The detachment is alsofurnishing a search and rescue capability for the surround-ing area, both military and civilian. The crew of "Pedro

40," the first of two HH-43's to be attached to ihe detach-ment. is shown after the helicopter touched down at Hollo'man, "ready for duty." Left to right are, Maj Richard D.Fisher, Capt Russell T.

ELECTRIC THROTTLE TRIM POTS

Field reports indicate electric throttle actuator trim pots

are being damaged as shown in Photo B- The cause is

generally believed to be pot misalignment with the access

holes provided in the electric throttle quadrant cover (ar-

rows, Photo A).Investigation reveals some minor misalignment due to

tolerances. but the screws are accessible. The problem

apparently arises when unqualified personnel, not always

maintenance oriented, attempt to adjust the pots and, in-

stead of engaging the adjustment screw, the screwdriver

slides between the screw and the shoulder of the trim pot'

When the screwdriver is turned, the trim pot breaks as

FI RE DETECTI ON/EXTINGUISHING SYSïEM-AMERICAN STANDABD CONTAINEBS

Two containers, together with associated lines, check valves,and discharge nozzles comprise ihe H-2 fire extinguishingsystem. One container is provided for each engine. Cross-feed provisions permit use of both containers, if necessary,for either engine compartment. Two photo-electric typeflame detectors, on each engine bellmouth, together withthe associated amplifier, wiring, warning lights and cockpit-controls, complete the system. Complete fire extinguishingsystem details are contained in NAVAIR 01-260HCA-2-4.Cómplete fire detection system details are contained inNAVAIR 01-260HCA-2-6. Both systems are, of course,dependent upon properly serviced fire suppressant eon-tainers. The information presented here reflects the latestavailable servicing information and will be included in the-2-4 by a future handbook Change.

The fire suppressant bottle or contáiner, P/N 3040?001(shown in the aceompanying illustration), has dual outlets,which provide for cross-feed utilization, a pressure gage,and a filler valve with an integral thermal relief feature.The two outlet valves each include a squib and a built-inswivel feature whieh allows proper alignment with the discharge tubes. Container specifications are as follows:

Internal Volume. .86 cubic inchesOperating Pressure. .600 Psig, +25-g
