Interesting that the new helo has aggressive VRS compensations in the flight control system.

For those that don't know VRS is the only reason why the V-22 Osprey kept crashing

|Unlike the V-22 Osprey, it features fixed engine nacelles, simplifying vertical flight and improving safety against Vortex Ring State (VRS) by enhancing control authority and reducing maintenance complexities

|Unlike older tilt-rotors, the MV-75's design allows it to navigate vertical flight and hover with more stable flight characteristics, avoiding the asymmetric VRS conditions that can affect tiltrotor aircraft.

|The MV-75 is designed to mitigate VRS by using rigid proprotors with advanced cyclic and collective pitch control.
