This chapter examines the form of a “tour of flight dynamics” on which the innovative, and more practical, European designs from the 1960s ‐ the Lynx, Puma, and Bo105 ‐ will be introduced as the principal reference aircraft. It begins by introducing four useful reference points for developing an appreciation of flying qualities and flight dynamics. These are the mission and the associated piloting tasks; the operational environment; the vehicle configuration, dynamics, and the flight envelope; and the pilot and pilot‐vehicle interface. A mathematical description or simulation of a helicopter's or tilt rotor's flight dynamics needs to embody the important aerodynamic, structural, and other internal dynamic effects that combine to influence the response of the aircraft to pilot's controls and external atmospheric disturbances. The chapter draws on contributions to a series of tiltrotor critical technology projects to characterise the flight dynamics in conversion.
