cyclic control

Cyclic controls are used to change a helicopter's roll and pitch.

Captain Willis pushed his cyclic control forward, diving the helicopter at the ground.

Bolan reacted quickly, pulling the cyclic control stick hard to his left.

For initial attempts it is best to apply only very short 'stabs' of cyclic control.

Once started, dynamic rollover cannot be stopped by application of opposite cyclic control alone.

This control is also called collective as distinct from the cyclic control for lateral movement.

Then he eased the cyclic control forward.

He brought his cyclic control to the right and slid horizontally as his eyes searched the ground.

Bolan felt the cyclic control stick vibrate wildly in his fist.

V4: The last unit produced was a two-seat variant with new collective and cyclic controls.

The pitch of these vanes could be varied in operation by the pilot, an early example of cyclic control.

In this condition, the pilot could rapidly run out of rearward cyclic control as the helicopter consumes fuel.

Flap back results in a slowing of the aircraft and the pilot counters the effect by applying forward input to the cyclic control.

To sum up all of the above in one phrase - cyclic controls speed, throttle controls height.

If the critical rollover angle is exceeded, the helicopter rolls on its side regardless of the cyclic control corrections made.

Malloy eased back on the cyclic control, flaring his helicopter for landing where the fuel truck was parked.

His hands tingled on the cyclic control stick, and as many times as he'd done this, this one was not a rehearsal.

In the event of engine failure and the resulting autorotation, the pilot may not have enough cyclic control to flare properly for the landing.

Its two two-blade, fixed-pitch rotors had swashplate-actuated cyclic control.

Rand moved the cyclic control, between his legs, in a small circle, then to the outward perimeters of its movement and then centered it.

Rand pressed the intercom switch, one of several on what he thought of as the "handle" of the cyclic control.

When the model is facing you instead of pointing away from you, the fore/aft and lateral cyclic controls will appear to be reversed.

The non-rotating plate is connected to links that are manipulated by pilot controls-specifically, the collective and cyclic controls.

A helicopter pilot, on the other hand, must first acquire lift by judicious application of engine power and simultaneous raising of the cyclic control.
