Dave,
That is an INTERESTING paper, deeply flawed in many ways. I am amazed at
its inability to stay consistent within itself, and in its ability to
understate tilt rotor empty weights, over state hover payloads, and
understate cruise drags. The result is as if the author chose to simply
ignore the data, and used instead his (generous) assumptions to assure his
answers. A bit shocking, frankly, but interesting!
If he were right, the flightmanual data I published would be reversed!

Nishant,

You may find this of value.

Due to obvious reasons getting
the AHS papers is not really an option, as ordering them over the net
translates into a lot of money, when converted into Indian Rupees. So,
I end up searching the net.
