An aircraft is provided including an airframe, an extending tail, and a counter rotating, coaxial main rotor assembly including an upper rotor assembly and a lower rotor assembly. A translational thrust system positioned at the extending tail, the translational thrust system providing translational thrust to the airframe. A horizontal stabilizer with a left elevator and right elevator positioned at the extending tail. A flight control computer to independently control one or more of the main rotor assembly and the elevator through a fly-by-wire control system. The flight control computer is configured to mix a collective pitch of the main rotor assembly and a deflection of the elevator.
