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 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.

What happens when you change the angle of a swash plate?

Changing the angle of a swash plate in a hydraulic piston pump or motor controls the displacement by altering the volume of fluid being moved. This, in turn, changes the speed and direction of the hydraulic system. Adjusting the angle allows for variable flow rates and pressure within the hydraulic system.

How are the rotor blades of a helicopter tilted when rotating?

The rotor blades of a helicopter are tilted backwards when rotating to generate lift and control the direction of the aircraft. This tilt is called "pitch" and is controlled by the pilot using the cyclic control stick to adjust the blade angle as needed during flight. The pitch of the rotor blades can be changed to move the helicopter forward, backward, left, or right.


How dangerous are remote control helicopters rotary blades?

Remote control helicopter rotary blades can be fairly dangerous if the helicopter is flying around a person's face. They are often times made of metal, and can damage one's eyes very easily.


What is a rotary aircraft?
