... condition that will cause the nose to pitch up. This is due to gyroscopic precession, stall on the right side, reaction is 90 degrees later causing loss of lift over the tail and the nose to pitch up. At this point the helicopter may start to roll, usually to the left but not always. ...

... In forward flight, air flows opposite the flight path of the aircraft. The velocity of the flow of air equals the forward speed of the helicopter. Because the blades of the helicopter turn in a circular pattern, the velocity of the airflow across a blade depends on the position of the blade in the r ...

Helicopter rotor

A helicopter main rotor or rotor system is the combination of several rotary wings (rotor blades) and a control system that generates the aerodynamic lift force that supports the weight of the helicopter, and the thrust that counteracts aerodynamic drag in forward flight. Each main rotor is mounted on a vertical mast over the top of the helicopter, as opposed to a helicopter tail rotor, which connects through a combination of drive shaft(s) and gearboxes along the tail boom. The blade pitch is typically controlled by a swashplate connected to the helicopter flight controls. Helicopters are one example of rotary-wing aircraft (rotorcraft).
