Description: . Cyclic Pitch Control: The cyclic pitch control is a stick located between the pilot's legs. It allows the pilot to tilt the rotor blades cyclically as they rotate. By adjusting the pitch of each blade individually as it passes through different parts of the rotor's rotation, the cyclic control enables the helicopter to move in any direction, including forward, backward, sideways, and diagonally.<br/><br/>c. Pedals: Pedals are located on the helicopter's floor, and they control the tail rotor's pitch. By using the pedals, the pilot can change the thrust produced by the tail rotor, which helps in yaw control (rotation around the vertical axis). Pressing the left pedal increases tail rotor thrust, causing the helicopter to rotate to the left, and vice versa.<br/><br/>Power Source: Military helicopters are typically powered by one or more engines, which provide the necessary power to drive the rotor system. The engines can be gas turbine engines or piston engines, depending on the helicopter model. Gas turbine engines are more common due to their high power-to-weight ratio and reliability.<br/><br/>
