A method of rotorcraft state control includes receiving command input indicative of an intended state change in a rotorcraft. The method also includes issuing command output to a rotor actuation system to carry out the intended state change by varying drag and/or efficiency on one or more rotor blades of the rotorcraft. Issuing command output can include issuing a command output to the rotor actuation system to carry out the intended state change by increasing drag at a substantially constant thrust on one or more rotor blades of the rotorcraft.
