Stability and control handbook for helicopters
TL;DR: In this paper, a handbook for determining the dynamic stability and control characteristics of generalized procedures is presented, which is considerably simplified through the extensive use of information presented in graphs and charts, and is applicable to flight conditions from hover to high forward speeds, but the high speed charts exclude the major assumptions of classical theory and include blade compressibility, stall, reverse flow, large inflow ratios, etc.
