cyclic pitch control
Definição1
The control for changing the pitch of each rotor balde individually as it rotates through one cycle to govern the tilt of the rotor disc and, consequently, the direction and velocity of horizontal movement.

Nota adicional1
The cyclic pitch control tilts the main rotor disc by changing the pitch angle of the rotor blades in their cycle of rotation. When the main rotor disc is tilted, the horizontal component of lift moves the helicopter in the direction of tilt.
Contexto
In a rotor system using three or more blades, the move- ment of the cyclic pitch control changes the angle of attack of each blade an appropriate amount so that the end result is the same.
