A Swashplate and Support assembly and a scissors and sleeve assembly are installed together, mounted around mast at top of transmission. The control unit transmits movements from cyclic and collective control systems mounted in cabin and fuselage to linkages which rotate with main rotor. Swashplate is mounted on a universal support, for tilt related to position of cyclic control stick. Collective sleeve moves vertically within swashplate support, as actuated by collective control stick. Combined effects on scissor levers andupper linkage determine main rotor lift and directional control.

What happens when you change the angle of a swash plate?
Direction of helicopter changes slightly
How are the rotor blades of a helicopter tilted when rotating?
They are on special hinges attached to what is called a 'swash plate'
What are the differences between bent axis pump and swash plate pump?
In the bent axis pump,the pistons are at an angle to the drive shaft and thrust plate. The connecting rods are attached to the thrust plate and revolve with it , unlike the swash plate pump where the piston rods slide past a stationary swash plate. In the swash plate pump the rotating shaft and plate are shown in silver.
Is a helicopter an airplane?
