A Bell XH-40, a prototype of the UH-1 and Bell 204. Bell designed its Model 204 in response to a 1955 United States Army requirement for a utility helicopter. The 204 was a giant step forward in helicopter design, being one of the first to be powered by a turboshaft.
1. Non-rotating outer ring (blue). 2. Turning inner ring (silver). 3. Ball joint. 4. Control (pitch) preventing turning of outer ring. 5. Control (roll). 6. Linkages (silver) to the rotor blade. In aeronautics, a swashplate is a mechanical device that translates input via the helicopter flight controls into motion of the main rotor blades.

Helicopter Training Squadron EIGHT (HT-8) is a United States Navy helicopter training squadron based at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton, FL. [1] The squadron's mission is helicopter pilot training for U. S. Navy, U. S. Marine Corps and U. S. Coast Guard Student Naval Aviators and for selected foreign military flight students from basic helicopter flight training through winging.

It also reportedly makes greater use of titanium and composites in its rotor blades and rotor, [4] and replaces the Z-8's boat-shaped lower fuselage with a tail ramp for small vehicles. [1] It has a glass cockpit [2] and is powered by three WZ-6C turboshafts. [2] [1] The Z-18's maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) is 13.8 tonnes.
Location of flight controls in a helicopter. Helicopter flight controls are used to achieve and maintain controlled aerodynamic helicopter flight. [1] Changes to the aircraft flight control system transmit mechanically to the rotor, producing aerodynamic effects on the rotor blades that make the helicopter move in a desired way.
