This paper describes the implementation of an automatic position-hold system in the NASA/Army CH47B variable-stability research helicopter. The test helicopter is briefly described, and a detailed documentation is given of the position-measurement system. The control system design model and the design procedure are described, and flight-test data describing overall system performance in strong winds are presented.
