...Helicopters are widely regarded to be significantly harder to control than fixed-wing aircraft (see, e.g., Leishman (2000) and Seddon (1990)) At the same time, helicopters provide unique capabilities, such as in-place hover and low-speed flight, important for many applications....

...Helicopter aerodynamics are, to date, somewhat poorly understood, and (unlike most fixed-wing aircraft) no textbook models will accurately predict the dynamics of a helicopter from only its dimensions and specifications (Seddon 1990; Leishman 2000)....
