VRS avoidance as active function on side-sticks

Kurzfassung

DLR and ONERA have a long-term cooperation on the evaluation of technologies for “easy flying” helicopters. Active inceptors are one of these promising technologies. They are expected to improve flight safety, provide workload reductions, and demonstrate operational benefits. During the last year, flight tests at the DLR have effectively shown how tactile cueing with active inceptors can reduce pilot workload and improve mission effectiveness [1]. Among the developed functions were load limitation and flight guidance functions.
