Fascinating video and discussion about the evolution of the control laws for the current day B model.
It seems the Brits had far better ideas than the traditionally minded, Harrier centric folks at NAVAIR.
In essence, the control laws evolved to abandon any corollary to a helicopter and instead centered around the same control inputs. One would use in close formation flight, regardless of whether you were in forward flight or a hover or transition.
Fascinating stuff.
