The flying quality characteristics of four state-of-the-art rotary wing aircraft have been compared to the present day helicopter and VSTOL flying qualities criteria. Hover control power and dynamic stability characteristics were analyzed for the longitudinal, lateral and directional axes. For forward flight, static and dynamic stability characteristics were analyzed for the longitudinal and lateral-directional axes. Results in terms of the applicability/utility of the MIL-H-8501A criteria are presented for each of the above flying qualities areas. (Author)
