The initial operation and first hover tests of the IBC-capable multiple swashplate control system META have been accomplished on DLR’s rotor test rig. The paper describes the preliminary activities and system modifications necessary to ensure successful testing. The results of the hover tests are discussed in detail, with special attention to Higher Harmonic and Individual Blade Control applications. Numerous rotating and non-rotating tests with and without blades were conducted, including 2-6/rev HHC, in-flight blade tracking, and different modes of tip path plane splitting
