An aircraft includes an airframe having an extending tail, a counter rotating, coaxial main rotor assembly disposed at the airframe including an upper rotor assembly and a lower rotor assembly, and a translational thrust system positioned at the extending tail and providing translational thrust to the airframe. A fly by wire control system for the aircraft includes a flight control system configured to receive a plurality of inputs and a flight control computer to translate the inputs into commands and issue the commands to one or more controlled elements of the aircraft. A fly by wire control system for a dual coaxial rotor rotorcraft with auxiliary propulsor includes a flight control system configured to receive a plurality of inputs and a flight control computer to translate the inputs into commands and issue the commands to one or more controlled elements of the rotorcraft.
