Helicopter Swashplate Control

#helicopter #swashplate This is a 3d model of a helicopter control system that I use to explain how a swashplate is used to transfer non-rotating control inputs to a rotating control system. I explain rotor degrees of freedom and how control of these degrees of freedom is passed into the rotating control system. Towards the end of this video, I refer to another video that explains control phase delay in helicopters. Here is a link to that video: I made this video the these software tools Fusion 360 for the computer aided design Blender for the animation and video editing Audacity for audio editing 00:00 Intro 00:42 Rotor Degrees of Freedom 02:09 Fully Articulated Rotor 02:39 Tail Rotor Control 02:59 Non-rotating and Rotating Controls 03:18 Rotating Controls and Rotating Swashplate 04:45 Non-rotating Controls and Non-Rotating Swashplate 06:25 Control Motions 07:18 Collective Control 07:25 Cyclic Pitch 08:07 Cockpit Controls
