Abstract:
This report documents work done to enhance helicopter fuel consumption modeling in the Federal Aviation

Administration’s Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT). Fuel consumption and flight performance data

were collected from helicopter flight manuals and from in-service operations. These data were used to

develop methods for predicting helicopter fuel consumption as a function of the helicopter flight state.

The primary method developed for this report showed a difference from the flight manual reported fuel

consumption of about 4% in cruise mode for the utilized helicopter weight.
