Compound Helicopter Design

I’ve been looking up as much engineering information as I can find on the EuroCopter x3. The machine is now sitting in a museum and not being flown anymore, and I don’t think AirBus intends on doing anything with it.

It’s evolved to the Airbus Racer. See this link

take a look at the dev thread on how to incorporate the mixer for the thrusters. Wondered what you thought of my idea to use the dynamic flight flag to make it fully automatic in all flight modes.

I did see that and meant to reply. In short I think it can be treated like we discussed with heli trimming and have maybe a cruise pitch attitude parameter that would be set based on the dynamic flight flag. That way it wouldn’t affect your hover pitch attitude.
