The Helo test was to simulate over-RPM under while overloading.  Special note to Chinook drivers, don't go over your lifting weight capability by adding redline RPM. :)

The 747 test I believe was the NASA test that was supposed to see how a new additive to the AV fuel would suppress or reduce combustion upon impact. So much for THAT fuel additive! :rofl

The 3rd test I'm unaware of what they were testing, but I remember an email a few years ago when this was circulating at work (During our merger with McD, wouldn't you know ;) ) that stated it was some sort of landing gear test (high impact landing).

The fuel test was done on a 707 and if you ever get to see the whole story on the likes of the history channel it was a bit contraversial.

I thought that said Boeing bought Mcdonalds. I was thinking "Well shoot, your food will crash before you get it to your table."

  The fuel worked quite well actually the fuel additive put the fire out. Regular fuel would have just kept burning.
