A rotary wing aircraft includes an airframe including an extending tail. The airframe includes a longitudinal axis that extends through the extending tail. The rotary wing aircraft also includes a main rotor assembly including at least one rotor hub supporting a plurality of rotor blades configured and disposed to rotate about a main rotor axis, at least one elevator arranged at the extending tail, and a control system operably connected to the main rotor assembly and the at least one elevator. The control system is configured and disposed to adjust each of a pitch rate and an attitude of the airframe by selectively adjusting a position of the at least one elevator.
