How does a chinook helicopter steer left and right? It uses the cylic control to change the angle of attack of the blades on the left and right sides of the chopper doesn't it? Because I seem to be getting some indications that the ENTIRE blade assembly is TILTED left or right for that to happen which I'm pretty sure they don't do in a real chinook becuase that's just ridiculous with the power involved for the servo mechanism as well as the weight and fragility.
I saw it done on a small cheap tandem rotor helicopter though. But in actuality they use cyclic control like a normal helicopter don't they? And the forward/reverse is controlled by differential collective pitch between the rotors rather than forward/backward cyclic control like a single rotor chopper?
