The feasibility of using control feedback or rotor tip-path-plane motion or body state as a means of altering rotor and fuselage response in a prescribed manner was investigated to determine the practical limitations of in-flight utilization of a digital computer which conditions and shapes rotor flapping and fuselage state information as feedback signals, before routing these signals to the differential servo actuators. The analysis and test of various feedback schemes are discussed. Test results show that a Kalman estimator routine which is based on only the first harmonic contributions of blade flapping yields tip-path-plane coefficients which are adequate for use in feedback systems, at speeds up to 150 kts.
