Sensor-driven actuators adjust drag, lift, or torsion to damp rotor blade vibration and stabilize motion during mode changes.
Automatic engine-failure detection adjusts collective and pitch attitude to preserve rotor RPM and speed rotorcraft autorotation entry.
Automatic fly-by-wire autorotation entry maintains target rotor RPM after engine failure, improving response for low-inertia main rotors.
By calculating a braking start point, the aircraft stops its vertical rotor blade-aligned to cut drag, noise, and power use in forward flight.
