Abstract
A system and method for counteracting a rotor moment of one or more rotors of a coaxial rotor helicopter includes receiving signals with a processor indicative of a displacement command from a controller during a flight maneuver; receiving one or more signals with the processor from a sensor indicative of an airspeed and air density for the helicopter; determining a commanded rate of acceleration for the helicopter during the flight maneuver; and adjusting with one or more control servos a cyclic pitch for the one or more rotors to counteract the rotor moment during the flight maneuver.
