Hellfire II deliveries

Article Abstract:

Lockheed Martin has started delivering AGM-115M Hellfire II anti-shipping missiles to the US Navy. The deliveries are part of a contract for 100 missiles to be deployed with the Marine Corps Bell AH-1W SuperCobra and the Navy Sikorsky SH-60B Seahawk helicopters. The Helffire variant features a 12.5 kg blast-fragmentation warhead equipped with a delayed proximity fuse to enable it to detonate after the Mach1.3 capable missile pierces the target's outer hull.

"Virtual Noise" and the helicopter

Article Abstract:

The 51st American Helicopter Society (AHS) Forum held in Montreal, Canada, in May 1999 gathered experts in the helicopter industry to tackle the problems of public acceptance on the noise created by helicopters. An all- day Rotorcraft Public Acceptance Workshop was organized on behalf of AHS by John Leverton, an expert in helicopter acoustics, noise certification standards and helicopter developments.
