Methods for obtaining desired helicopter stability characteristics

Abstract

A brief summary is made of methods available to the helicopter designer for obtaining desired stability characteristics by modifications to the airframe design. The discussion is based on modifications made during the establishment of flying-qualities criteria and includes sample indications of theoretical studies of additional methods.
