  Figure 1-5. Fuel in the tanks of a swept-wing airplane affects both lateral and longitudinal balance. As fuel is used from an outboard tank, the CG shifts forward. The fixed-wing airplane has movable controls that alter lift ... must remain if the flight controls are to remain effective and the airplane safely operated. Weight-Shift Control Aircraft The WSC aircraft has a relatively set platform wing without a tail. The pilot achieves control by shifting weight…

  Rotary-Wing Aircraft Assembly & Rigging The flight control units located in the flight deck of all helicopters are very nearly the same. All helicopters have either one or two of each of the following: collective pitch control, throttle grip, cyclic ... system varies greatly by helicopter model. Figure 2-22.

  wing, due to its inherent stability, then moves appropriately to reestablish the desired relationship between these forces; the wing flexes and alter its shape. As the shape is changed, lift is varied at different points on the wing to achieve ... tail plane, there is minimal or no yaw control. Unlike in an airplane, the CG experienced by the WSC aircraft wing remains constant. Since the weight of the airframe acts through a single point (the wing attach point), the range…
