The development of our NEO is still in full swing. Through the intensive use of modern and up-to-date technologies in the fields of the airframe, rotor, powerplant and control system the development effort emerged clearly more extensive than originally thought. In this process even small changes are often followed by further time consuming changes.



One of the latest tasks was the dynamic tuning of the rotor system. Recently, here we have achieved our goal. The rotor is now running at a very low vibration level and the cyclic stick is almost free of vibration. For the first time we have achieved that after assembly of the blades the rotor could go into operation without further track and balance corrections. Currently we are working on the most efficient coordination of the jet control system at the tail.
