Use of central digital computers for helicopter automatic control functions has evolved as consequence of application of helicopters in increasingly more complex missions; first new helicopter digital system to be developed, U S Marine Corps Integrated Helicopter Avionic System (IHAS), is described in terms of conceptual design approaches used; system syntheses problems are experienced using digital computation techniques; future trends for application of central digital computers for helicopters and VTOL aircraft are indicated.
