Would it be easier to build one of these systems for a Commanche or an Osprey? I ask because I imagine that control systems are heavily utilized in these two helicopters, meaning that all the necessary feedback loops / transfer functions / frequency responses are already known. Thus, taking those systems a step further into controlling position may be more efficient than starting from pneumatic controls on a Black Hawk.

The Black Hawk is an ideal testbed for this tech because there are so many of them in service and its handling and controls are well understood. It's a pretty conventional design, and would benefit more from being unmanned due to cruising lower and slower (more vulnerable) than the Osprey.
