There is no 'aeromatic' support for JSBSim helicopters at this time.

The JSBSim rotor model supports electric, piston and turboprop engine types. 
Aeromatic will generate a decent piston engine, the other two you need to 
start from an example. 

There is also one or two example helicopters in JSBSim stand-alone to get you 
started.
