Several feel springs of different rates were evaluated in the power-control system of a light helicopter. In addition, a bobweight and viscous damper for providing maneuvering forces were evaluated. The evaluation was qualitative, based upon the combined opinions of eight research pilots and four non-pilot engineers from NASA. The evaluation revealed that desirable all-around forces for the helicopter were obtained with a 1/2-lb/in. feel spring for both longitudinal and lateral control combined with a 14-lb/g bobweight. Further investigation proved the necessity of the viscous damper in the bobweight system.
