  • Fly-by-wire flight control system with electronic lead/lag damper algorithm
    Patent number: 8548648
    Abstract: An electronic lead/lag damper algorithm implemented as part of the fly-by-wire flight control system to minimize or eliminate mechanical lead/lag dampers of a rotary wing aircraft. The electronic lead/lag damper algorithm uses a cross-feed control methodology that band-pass filters pitch and roll rates and feeds back a signal to the lateral and longitudinal cyclic inputs to provide electronic stability to rotor lag modes.
