A flapping control system for a proprotor assembly of a tiltrotor aircraft includes one or more sensors operable to detect one or more flight parameters of the tiltrotor aircraft to form sensor data. The sensors include a proprotor flapping sensor to detect a proprotor flapping measurement. The flapping control system includes a flapping control module in data communication with the sensors. The flapping control module includes a maneuver detection module to detect whether the tiltrotor aircraft is in a maneuver mode using the sensor data. The flapping control module identifies a maneuver flapping threshold associated with the maneuver mode. The flapping control module generates a swashplate command using the proprotor flapping measurement and the maneuver flapping threshold, and sends the swashplate command to the proprotor assembly to reduce flapping of the proprotor assembly.
