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. To tilt forward and back (pitch) or sideways (roll) requires ...
Cockpit controls and instrument panel of a Cessna 182D Skylane. Generally, the primary cockpit flight controls are arranged as follows: [2] A control yoke (also known as a control column), centre stick or side-stick (the latter two also colloquially known as a control or joystick), governs the aircraft's roll and pitch by moving the ailerons (or activating wing warping on some very early ...
A helicopter's main rotor hub. The vertical rods are at the end of the control chain that starts with the pilot controls. Helicopter flight controls are connected to the main and tail rotors, and include a cyclic stick, broadly to control forward-aft and left-right movements, a collective lever, broadly to control vertical movements, and anti-torque pedals, to control left and right yaw.

A view of the Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse (LTS) Liebherr-Aerospace is the aerospace equipment manufacturing division of Liebherr. [3][4][5] The company is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM); [6] its low visibility in the minds of end consumers can be attributed to the OEM [1] nature of all its operations.
