Shawn, how should FBW on the collective supercede torque limiters? Should it interpret actual pilot inputs or apply a feedback force? Should this system be capable of reducing engine (or TR) failure workload by initiating autorotation? Should there be a vert and horizontal airspeed electronic map to keep the aircraft out of VRS?
Many questions, but it would help qualify expectations of FBW advantages...
