Abstract:
In April of 2024, Sikorsky flight tested an open loop Higher Harmonic Control system on an S-97® helicopter. The S-97® helicopter is a prototype aircraft, based on Sikorsky's X2 Technology™, that first flew in May 2015. It has contra-rotating, stiff in-plane main rotors with fly-by-wire controls, and a pusher propeller. This paper describes the HHC design, how it was implemented on the aircraft, how it was tested, and what the test results were.
