Here's a link that I found with it's origins in Canada. Aside from DARPA and a few otheres, there is a great deal of interest in "SMART" systems when regarding rotorcraft control. "SMART" and/or adaptive control is the last piece that I would like to implement into my rotor system. The Human Interface Rotor System outlined in my patent is only a physical interface regarding the pilot weight being distributed between the two planform morphing airframes and facilitaing rotor disc attitude. That final piece of utilizing SMART software to allow real time monitoring of flight control input & assist with manipulation when needed is the final goal and will bring the human interface, with regard to my airframe, to a full circle.

Simply a link for VTOL and similar rotorcraft, but mostly unproven and proven designs with a particular interest in morphing aero-structures and Human-machine interface.
