AbstractThis paper briefly reviews the evolution of VTOL performance/weight and balance computation devices, from charts and graphs through hand held load adjusters, performance slide rule calculators, and on-board electronic devices. The newly developed MH-53E missions and flight performance computers and their capabilities are discussed in detail. Horizon Technology Corporation capabilities and developments in this area are presented and the potential capabilities of the next generation VTOL performance computer systems are discussed.
