Abstract
A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER of the helicopters presently in the US Army inventory are inherently unstable and use pressurised hydraulic fluid in the hydromechanical flight control system. The development of a hydrofluidic stability‐augmentation system which can be integrated into the helicopter primary control system, offering promise of improved reliability, maintainability, and reduced cost over conventional electromechanical stability augmentation systems, has been accomplished.
