A PASSENGER DISCOMFORT-AWARE FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM

The present technology relates to a flight control system 110 that is adapted for controlling movements of a rotary wing aircraft 100 while considering passenger discomfort, to a rotary wing aircraft 100 with such a flight control system 110, and to a method 600 of operating a flight control system 110. The flight control system 110 includes sensors 120 configured to generate sensor data 125 based on captured motions of the rotary wing aircraft 100, motion actuators 130 that are adapted for inducing a translational and/or a rotational movement of the rotary wing aircraft 100 about at least one of a yaw axis 107, a roll axis 108, or a pitch axis 109, and a passenger discomfort-aware control unit 140 that is configured to generate, based on the sensor data 125, passenger discomfort-aware actuator control signals 145 for controlling the motion actuators 130 of the rotary wing aircraft 100.
