Why do gyros use tilt head rather than swashplate
Would a gyro with a swashplate ( just for pitch control) fly any different
(better,worse) than using a tilt type rotor head? Just more complex? Also, I've seen some photos of early kit helicopters that appear to have just a tilting head (no way to auto-rotate ?). Isn't this a bit of a death wish? Does a helicopter need to have collective pitch for anything other than auto-rotaion? Silly questions, but it's a late night. |
