Positive stick gradient
Hi,
DASH on the CH47D is supposed to provide positive stick gradient to the pilot on controls can anyone define what is positive stick gradient and explain the concept to me pls.
I understand positive stick gradient as the DASH actuators consistently giving the cyclic/pitch axis more movement travel as the speed of the aircraft increases without requiring the pilot to move the cyclic stick forward. In that way even at high speeds, the pilot will not run out of aft stick when the need comes for a quick deceleration?
can someone do me the favour by verifying my understanding?
