Abstract: A rotary aircraft which carries a hanging sling load on at least one support cable, benefits from a stabilizer which generates control signals R to be applied or modulated onto the flight control of the aircraft. At least one sling load pendulum motion detecting unit provides the stabilizer with data on the pendulum motion of the sling load. Additionally, the stabilizer is set up with a working range determination unit S3 for determining the space where free movement is possible in which the rotary aircraft with sling load can move without collision. The stabilizer generates control signals R in dependency of the determined pendulum motion of the sling load and the determined working range.

Abstract: Controlling the pitch of individual rotor blades of a helicopter to reduce control loads, vibration and noise in or from the rotating rotor control elements. The system generates blade dynamics signals representing dynamic forces acting on either or both of the rotating and non-rotating elements of the helicopter, including rotor blades of a rotating assembly. The system extracts information representing at least one dynamic force, generates a dynamic force compensation output that represents a compensation for the dynamic force, and generates, from flight control signals and the dynamic force compensation output, a compensated pitch actuator control signal for each rotor blade wherein the compensation factor of the pitch control signal compensates for the dynamic force.
