A rotorcraft autopilot system (300, 400) includes a series actuator (302) connecting a cockpit control component (304) to a swashplate of a rotorcraft, the series actuator to modify a control input from the cockpit control component to the swashplate through a downstream control component (306). The rotorcraft autopilot system also includes a differential friction system (310, 410) connected to the cockpit control component, the differential friction system to control the series actuator to automatically adjust a position of the cockpit control component during rotorcraft flight based, in part, on a flight mode of the rotorcraft.
