CYCLIC PITCH CONTROL - Means of changing the pitch of a rotor's blades progressively, to provide a horizontal thrust component for flight in any horizontal direction.
...
The pilot tries to perfectly balance a helicopter so that the fuselage remains horizontal in hovering flight, with no cyclic pitch control needed except for wind correction.
Pitch changes are made to individual blades independent of the others in the system and are controlled by the pilot's cyclic pitch control.
Tail Rotor Dissymmetry of Lift ...
When made with the blade feathering mechanism, the changes are called cyclic feathering. Pitch changes are made to individual blades independent of the others in the system and are controlled by the pilot's cyclic pitch control.
