2. Helicopter flight controls - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_flight_controls

   Helicopters with fly-by-wire systems allow a cyclic-style controller to be mounted to the side of the pilot seat. The cyclic is used to control the main rotor in order to change the helicopter's direction of movement. In a hover, the cyclic controls the movement of the helicopter forward, back, and laterally.

3. Bell XV-15 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_XV-15

   The first XV-15 prototype aircraft, N702NA, was transferred back to Bell for company development and demonstration use. On 20 August 1992, the aircraft crashed while being flown by a guest test pilot. He was lifting off for a final hover when a bolt slipped out of the collective control system on one pylon, causing that rotor to go to full pitch.

4. Bölkow Bo 46 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bölkow_Bo_46

   The Bölkow Bo 46 was a West German experimental helicopter built to test the Derschmidt rotor system that aimed to allow much higher speeds than traditional helicopter designs. [1] Wind tunnel testing showed promise, but the Bo 46 demonstrated a number of problems and added complexity that led to the concept being abandoned. The Bo 46 was one ...

   The fenestron consists of 11 blades spinning inside a circular housing at the base of the helicopter's tail fin. Certified for single-pilot instrument flight rules (IFR) operation, the HH-65A was the first helicopter certified with a four-axis autopilot, allowing for hands-off hover over a pre-determined location.

   Custom flying field of the HHAMS Aerodrome created for RealFlight 7.5 Custom flying field of the HHAMS Aerodrome created for Phoenix RC. An RC flight simulator is a computer program that allows pilots of radio-controlled aircraft to practice on a computer, without the risk and expense of damaging a real model.

9. Picoo Z - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picoo_Z

   Weighing a mere 10 grams, the Picoo Z measures 170 mm long, and has a main rotor span of 130 mm. The helicopter is controlled by a 3-frequency a-b-c infrared controller, with two channels (one for the main rotor and one for the tail rotor) allowing independent user control of throttle (main rotor RPM) and tail rotor RPM.
