A system and method for estimating rotor mixing commands for an aircraft includes receiving signals indicative of reference commands from one or more controllers; receiving signals indicative of airspeed and sideslip angle for the aircraft, the sideslip angle being indicative of a direction of flight for the aircraft; calculating a sine and cosine of the sideslip angle; determining gains for roll and pitch as a function of the airspeed, the determining including referencing a look-up table that indexes the gain constants with the airspeed; and determining the one or more rotor mixing commands from the determined gains, the one or more rotor mixing commands being applied synchronously to the rotors in the aircraft.
