CH-47 Control System

SAS,

The CH-21 had some delta 3 coupling built into the forward head ( upward flapping begets a reduction in blade pitch ) which was intended to improve short term pitch dynamic stability in turbulence. I always assumed that the CH-47 included same, but don't recall ever asking anyone.
