Analytical and experimental data obtained during the development of the AH-56A covering stability of the regressive inplane mode, including coupling with other modes such as body and rotor plunge are reported. Data were obtained on two distinctly different control systems; both gyro controlled, but one with feathering moment feedback and the other with direct flapping feedback. A review was made of analytical procedures employed in investigating the stability of this mode and a comparison was made of the analytical and experimental data. The effect of certain parameters including blade droop, sweep, delta 3, alpha 1, vehicle roll inertia, inplane frequency, and rpm and forward speed on the mode were also reviewed. It was shown that the stability of this mode is treatable by analysis and that adequate stability is achievable without recourse to auxiliary inplane damping devices.
