Q
Functions of the Stabilator
A
SCALP
Streamlines with rotor down wash (<30 kts) to minimize nose up attitude from rotor wash
Collective coupling to minimize attitude excursions due to collective inputs
Angle of incidence decreases above 30 kts to improve static stability
Lateral side slip to pitch coupling to reduce susceptibility to gusts (Stab up for right pedal / Stab down for left pedal)
Pitch rate feedback to improve dynamic stability
