"Brother Dixson says his experience testing Sikorsky aircraft.....RBS causes the aircraft to roll in the same direction as the blades rotate. American....left, French/Russian....right.

That is my experience as well.....less the Chinook which being Tandem rotor was a different kettle of fish as two heads complicate the reactions....depending upon whether both or just a single head was actually stalling."



Were those tests conducted (in real life) to a high DA? or to the maximum operating altitude of the aircraft?

Or is it whatever we got in between 0 to 10,000 ft is what you will get (in theory) between 10,000 ft to 20,000 ft ?

Just asking.
