5. Shaft alignment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_alignment

   Shaft alignment is the process of aligning two or more shafts with each other to within a tolerated margin. The resulting fault if alignment is not achieved within the demanded specifications is shaft misalignment, which may be offset or angular. Faults can lead to premature wear and damage to systems.

6. Swashplate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swashplate

   Displacement of the alignment of the fixed plate is transferred to the rotating plate, where it becomes reciprocal motion of the rotor blade linkages. This type of differential pitch control, known as cyclic pitch, allows the helicopter rotor to provide selective lift in any direction.
