Thanks Nick, glad i asked.

Not sure if DOD prevents you giving details, but what sort of vibration control system was used on Comanche to allow the high roll rates? I guessed it might be a system to trim pitch around azimuth to tune out vibration, again requiring predictive software to deal with system lags. This may once again be the engineer seeking out the most complex solution to a simple problem.
