pitch control lever
1Flight control modes (electronic) — New aircraft designs like this Boeing 777 rely on sophisticated flight computers to aid and protect the aircraft in flight. These are governed by computational laws which assign flight control modes during flight Aircraft with fly by wire flight… …
2Aircraft flight control systems — consist of flight control surfaces, the respective cockpit controls, connecting linkages, and the necessary operating mechanisms to control an aircraft s direction in flight. Aircraft engine controls are also considered as flight controls as they …
3Flight control surfaces — Aircraft flight control surfaces allow a pilot to adjust and control the aircraft s flight attitude.Development of an effective set of flight controls was a critical advance in the development of the aircraft. Early efforts at fixed wing aircraft …

5Ship gun fire-control system — Mk 37 Director c1944 with Mk 12 (rectangular antenna) and Mk 22 orange peel Ship gun fire control systems (GFCS) enable remote and automatic targeting of guns against ships, aircraft, and shore targets, with or without the aid of radar or optical …
6Controllable pitch propeller — A controllable pitch propeller (CPP) or variable pitch propeller is a type of propeller with blades that can be rotated around their long axis to change their pitch. If the pitch can be set to negative values, the reversible propeller can also… …
7collective-pitch lever — Generally referred to as just collective. A control that alters the pitch of all the blades of a rotor collectively and does so simultaneously, in the same direction, and by the same amount. The lever is located on the left side of the pilot’s… …
8condition lever — A lever to control the pitch of a propeller of a turboprop engine for the flight operating range of the engine …
9moving star — The upper section of the swash plate of a helicopter pitch control device. The moving star can tilt in any direction and rotates at the same speed as the rotor, as do the rods and appendages above it. The lower section, or fixed star, can only… …
10swash plate — i. A component of a helicopter control system to change the pitch of a rotor blade by an up and down motion. A swash plate has two sections. The upper section, or moving star, can tilt in any direction. It rotates at the same speed as the rotor,… …
