Cargo capacities provided reflect the airframe manufacturer's specifications; when put into practice the actual maximum load capacities may be less, depending on the rating of the cargo hook equipment. For example, if a helicopter model is rated by the manufacturer as having a maximum cargo sling load capacity of 4,000 lb, but the cargo hook ...
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.

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.
