  • The past half century has seen the evolution of rotorcraft flight controls from early mechanical systems to modern redundant hydraulic systems with full-authority digital flight control computers. Despite the recent cancellation of the RAH-66 Comanche program, the future of rotorcraft fly-by-wire technology looks brighter than ever, with fly-by-wire in production or development on the V-22, NH-90, BA-609, UH-60, AH-64, Mi-38, and S-92, among others. Drawing on the personal experiences of two project test pilots and several design engineers, the paper describes the development of the important elements of successful fly-by-wire systems.
