PASSENGER DISCOMFORT-AWARE FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM

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