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 ...

An intermeshing-rotor helicopter (or synchropter) is a helicopter with a set of two main rotors turning in opposite directions, with each rotor mast mounted with a slight angle to the other, in a transversely symmetrical manner, so that the blades intermesh without colliding. The arrangement allows the helicopter to function without a tail ...
An RC flyer demonstrating knife edge flying. A radio-controlled aircraft (often called RC aircraft or RC plane) is a small flying machine that is radio controlled by an operator on the ground using a hand-held radio transmitter. The transmitter continuously communicates with a receiver within the craft that sends signals to servomechanisms ...
The swashplate was originally proposed by Russian Boris Yuryev in 1911, though he did not use it on his first helicopter of 1912. [1]Pescara helicopters (1919–1930) are coaxial rotors helicopters, each rotor being controlled by a swashplate (oscillating bearing) driven by the first control stick for helicopter (UK 178,452 Improvement in or relating to Joy Sticks for helicopters.
Radio-controlled car. For miniature car replicas or toys, see Model car. Radio-controlled cars, or RC cars for short, [ 1 ] are miniature model cars, vans, buses and many more (or buggies) Nitro powered models use glow plug engines, small internal combustion engines fuelled by a special mixture of nitromethane, methanol, and oil (in most cases ...
