And in so doing establish a commitment to a particular, and artificial, Angle of Incidence. This is fine in cruise, but maneuvering an a/c which has cranked in a preference for one (Pitch)or the other (never both), becomes a challenge in adapting to the response of one airplane depending on a very important factor.
Changing the characteristics of an airfoil has dangers inherent in its "benefits". Neutral stick is no such thing when 16 degrees NU, it only "Logs" neutral, and when the deflection cannot be read, there is your guessing game.
I'll stick with swash, and internals. Maybe a particle separator. For the motor, not the pitot.
In the Traces, I'll be looking for gee. Just like Perpignan, but this time at the beginning of the crash.
