 Maneuverability is improved compared with earlier helicopters because of the ability to tilt the coaxial rotors together or tilt each one differently, and because of the variable pitch propulsor and active elevons.At low speed the S-97 maneuvers by differential torque of the upper and lower rotor, at high speed it uses rudders.The S-97 will be capable of carrying up to six passengers, in addition to a flight crew of two in a side-by-side cockpit.
