Alright to cut off the unfunny jokes and sticknodes post and drama, here is a smol paper about Swashplates :

Swashplate : Mechanical Device that moves the helicopter’s rotor so it can move forward, otherwise if you put jet engines inside it to move, I’d be unrealistic and you’d be responsible for breaking space-time apart

That’s why you see some kind of ” stick ” on the rotor part, that’s the control rods

There are 3 types of Swashplates, The Rigid Swashplate, The Teetering Swashplate ( or Semirigid ) and the Fully Articulated Swashplate

The rigid Swashplate only has Feathering ( Pitch / Angle of the blade ), it will just stay rigid since the rotor doesn’t move, it’s just the blade that goes up and down in the direction you want so the helicopter can move forward

Semirigid / Teetering Swashplate, this is only for 2-bladed rotors, in this Swashplate, Feathering is present but this time the top can move in the direction the helicopter wants to go, that’s called a Teetering mechanism, it pitches the top rotor up or down ( not the blades, the top ! ) And we use a teetering hinge to do so, there is only 1 present, so the top movement is dependent or space will break, hence the name Semirigid

Fully articulated Swashplate, this Swashplate is the most expensive one to make and is the most difficult one, it has Feathering and teetering, and is for all numbers of blades, unlike the last 2, all of the blades flap independently, it just do so, so you can move more than 2 blades !

Swashplate isn’t simple at all, and yeah, that dude Arcionek tryna make one with piston ( in a game ) I swear I chuckle a bit every night remembering that fool thinking he can make a Swashplate with piston XD

Well that covers it, atleast.
