Oh that is cool. It's worth watching because camera 2 switches to the perspective of being mounted on the rotating portion of the assemply so yes, the green box "looks like" it's rotating. This gives you a great view of the actual simplicity of the action. In this view the swash plate wobbles, actuating the control rods for cyclic action.

OK, I'm not describing it perfectily but I really appreciate what you've done here.

@halnwheels Thanks for your comment

@halnwheels Thanks

Does to blue bearing (or part) is mounted on a ball bearing?? how can it rotate on Y" axis?? (tilts when cyclic is inputed?)

[fozzy40sqn]

@makinamati

The dark blue part is called the rotating swash plate. It sits on a ball so it can rotate in all directions (cyclic) and the "ball" can move up and down (collective) around the main axle.

@fozzy40sqn ok, one more question, the red thing wich is mounted on the swashplate, (the one that rotates with the rotor) what is it for??? looks useless and possible a vibration cause, (other than giving the rotoro certain integrity) Thanks a lot! ... I would appreciate more precise links to related data, if you have.... :D

[fozzy40sqn]

@makinamati

You see the red parts two times, they are called the scissors. The aim of the lower one is to keep the stationary swashplate stationary to the helicopterframe and for the upper one is to keep the rotating swashplate stationary to the rotorspeed. With stationary I mean only in the rotation axis off course.

nice vid now I actually understand how it works, should help for my air tech exam next week :).

Great artwork, on swashplate assembly there is bearing called spherical bearing, will move together with swashplate assembly. To move all the axis x, y and z, this kind of main rotor assembly must have an input from right lateral servo, left lateral servo and fore & aft servo by moving collective and cyclic stick weather up, down or forward. Need to included bifilar absorber...?

Does the internal part of the swash plate where it contacts the tilt-bearing actually rotate with the rotor? If so, why is there a bearing between the inner part of the swash plate and the outer part where the pitch links are attached? Excellent work, thank you!

UNBELIEVABLE !!! Great MASTERWORK. GREAAAAAT. PERFECT. WONDERFUL. YOU ARE AN ARTIST. VERY PRECISE

Finally something interesting and intelligent on youtube! But... how about the rotor head of a CH-53E?
