Hey it's me Destin. Welcome back to Smarter Every Day. So last week I described collective pitch control for a helicopter, I described cyclic pitch control for a helicoper, and I also described anti-torque pitch contol But this week we're going to combine them all and describe something called collective-cyclic pitch mixing. It's pretty cool, and it's basically how every helicopter pilot flies, including Carl in this case. The way I'm gonna describe this to you is by setting up and showing you a high speed video clip of Carl flipping the helicopter over and flying inverted. [rotor noise] You're about centre of the frame, maybe a little less right there. [rotor noise] [rotor noise] That's gonna be good. It's pretty in...
