#TBT Throwback Thursday – What Is a Helicopter Swashplate? How a Helicopter Swashplate Works

While HTV is busy working on new content, check out some of our old videos from a few years back. This Helicopter Swashplate video was first published back in January 2013.

The video describes what a helicopter swashplate is and how the swashplate transfers control input to the rotor disk, using R44 and R22 helicopters as examples. APOLOGIES for the SHAKEY camera work!
