Abstract

Oscillations in helicopter attitude sustained by the aerodynamic response of the helicopter to an automatic flight control system which is responsive to an attitude sensor, are eliminated by band reject (notch) filtering of a control system stability command to the aircraft, derived from rate of changes of such attitude at a frequency related to the aircraft attitude oscillations induced by the rate-controlled stability compensation.
