The Navy Lynx is capable of some negative pitch, I believe
Even when flying lynx I was never really sure about this. The correct term is "Sub minimum pitch", ie the ability to go below the normal minimum blade angle with the collective fully down when on the ground. Whether this actually went below zero always seemed to be a question. For the non lynx people, you have to physically push the collective down through a restriction to get onto sub-min.
