    Abstract: An aircraft is provided including at least one pilot input and a flight control system n communication with the at least one pilot input. The flight control system is operable in a manual mode and a pointing mode. In the manual mode, a velocity, position, and attitude of the aircraft are controlled manually, and in the pointing mode, at least one of the velocity and position of the aircraft is controlled by the flight control system and at least one of the attitude and heading of the aircraft is controlled manually.

    Abstract: One aspect is a flight control system for a rotary wing aircraft that includes flight control computer configured to interface with a main rotor system, a translational thrust system, and an engine control system. The flight control computer includes processing circuitry configured to execute control logic. The control logic includes a primary flight control configured to produce flight control commands for the main rotor system and the translational thrust system. Main rotor engine anticipation logic is configured to produce a rotor power demand associated with the main rotor system. Propulsor loads engine anticipation logic is configured to produce an auxiliary propulsor power demand associated with the translational thrust system. The auxiliary propulsor power is combined with the rotor power demand to produce a total power demand anticipation signal for the engine control system.

    Abstract: An aircraft includes an airframe having an empennage, a counter rotating, coaxial main rotor assembly located at the airframe including an upper rotor assembly and a lower rotor assembly, and a translational thrust system positioned at the empennage and providing translational thrust to the airframe. At least two control surfaces located at the empennage are independently operable via commands from one or more flight control computers. A method of operating an aircraft includes transmitting a first signal from one or more flight control computers to a first control surface located at a first lateral side of a translational thrust system, and actuating the first control surface to a first position via the first signal. A second signal is transmitted to a second control surface located at a second lateral side opposite the first lateral side, and the second control surface is actuated to a second position via the second signal.
