How Helicopters Work and How to Build a Swashplate | Besiege

[@BigMathis]

If you are thinking about building a helicopter, you first want to learn how to build an airplane. Dawn-Shade has made a brilliant tutorial for that. Link is in the description.

[@milchael]

BigMathis thanks man xD exactly what I was asking you for

[@Just-Cyber1]

what game is?

[@boot2027]

can you do a tutorial for the rest of the helicopter

[@DermotiusOfficial]

how about a tail rotor ?

How to make a rotor blaee

[@Dawn-Shade]

nice! a good and easy to follow design. your explanation are also quite clear I think i started to know how swashplates works now

[@BigMathis]

Thanks. Next time I will make a video where I actually build a helicopter. Fully realistic and vanilla of course.

[@Ilyas-ty6cy]

Two great Besiege engineer greet each other... Nice

[@milchael]

Ilyas I was thinking the exact same thing :D

[@johnsikma2776]

Yeah, me too will start from now

[@lilyzhang5540]

@@BigMathis it’s been five years. When are you going to make it?😂

[@HW-ow9zp]

This is an insanely good tutorial. Appreciate you explaining slowly the build pieces in real time. Helps so much to understand. I'm blown away by how many interesting mechanical principles I'm learning in this game. Very new to it but I'm really fascinated. Thanks

[@Xenro66]

This is by far the best guide on building helicopter swashplates I've seen. The design is simple, yet encompasses all essential functions of the swash. My only gripe with this design is the brace clipping; I know they have no hitbox, but this wouldn't work in reality for obvious reasons. I've tried to make swashplates many times in Besiege; I know exactly how they work and would always model them almost exactly as they are on my RC helicopters (6 channel), yet I would always get some form of unbalance from somewhere, causing the rotor to wobble and break. Either way, due to the way this game works, this is clearly a superior design than mine, uses a lot less parts, and I thank you for this video.. *Edit:* So, I've build a slightly modified version of this design, slimmed down the components with mods, using "Block 52" for the blades and reinforced the whole structure. I've tried making the tail rotor 5 times now, all with differing designs; return to centre (twice), push button (again, twice) and just blades on a fast wheel, yet none of them provide enough torque to stop the whole helicopter from spinning... When it does, I can't control the yaw. The helicopter has 6 blades and I tried to model off your S-64 on the workshop, but it still just won't work :c

[@AVGyerra22]

I wish I had a pc so I could build my own heli or a baloon-supported floater. Very educational and straight to the point, excellent video as always Mathis.

[@xxjojoxx-35]

OMG you're a godsent, you helped me make a swashplate in Plane Crazy ( another game similiar to besiege without the medieval aspects ) they said it was near-impossible to make one, *SIKE, IM GOING TO ENJOY BEING GOD NOW !*

[@sentient_water]

Fellow plane crazy player!

[@sentient_water]

How did you make that ball joint

[@laotse9655]

@@sentient_water You just need a motor in all the 3 axles

[@deltamike0397]

Man I am a helicopter mechanic and the way yoi built that swashplate is amazing!!! I was wondering how everyone built PC links! Perfect! Thanks for the tutorial!!! I just got the game and have been trying make a flying machine. It goes up, it goes down, then it goes boom lol

[@Valentin-ri1zr]

Thank you for this tutorial. I've already used the shade's ones to build my own plane and now I will build my own helicopter. 👍

The most helpful and to the point video I've ever watched

[@Piraneous]

did the future video where he built a helicopter ever eventuate? got this working, but have no idea how to tie it in with tail rotor to counter the torque

[@xuanli1632]

Like your narration!😍😍😍Although it's too sophisticated for me to understand.👏🏻 Amazing job!

[@TheCHIEFMONGO]

Very incredible. And incredibly similar to real life rotors

I really like the look of the Seahawk my dude. Hope you get to fix the thing where the cockpit of the Heli likes to decapitate itself.

thanks this help alot!

[@jackaller5112]

u describe it liek a lego set. amazing.

[@TheHolyToaster]

Excellent work, your vid is very well explained

[@lucywucyyy]

you should redo this turtorial with beseiges new stuff as i imagine its now possible to simplify this design

[@keanrey9747]

But how do i stop it from spinning out of controll??

Can we have a complete tutorial for the helicopter?

[@mrbrickreviews7808]

Very interesting very interesting indeed.

[@melissamartinez4912]

Thanks! Now I can possibly copy this down in a game on roblox so I finally have a realistic swash plate on my heli

wow. now i understand how hard it is to build a helicopter. (i tried this but i didnt do something right and my helicopter broke and crashed the game Xd) great video tho

[@dennytor4862]

Cool,u r the best!:)

[@MIDHVDSONSPITE]

cant get it to work. i wonder if something has become impossible due to an update. why those two pistons in the stem under the rotor? they are not key mapped or really used at all it looks like. some kinda suspension/spring ish type effect goin on there maybe?

[@LutfiPutra2122]

Excuse me did u can explain to make tail rotors? Or it same like basic rotors?

[@edlyntayco3004]

whats your texture pack or skin bc im new to besiege and why is your heli look so real btw nice vid.

[@edlyntayco3004]

or a mod

[@s3od406]

Its kinda still working but you need to manually fix the mistakes because of besiege new physics

[@2wheels2]

don't u need one unpowered wheel or swivel joint under the wheel to go against that torque generated by the powered wheel up top?

[@nicolaebeldean1049]

i did this very design and the whole thing spins. i think you may be right

[@Saberwulfy]

Perfect, how to counter spin? if i spin my wheel the body spin too

[@cosmii]

If you want to get rid of torque add a tail rotor

[@dv1494]

The only way they countered that is a tail rotor

[@T-Dawg123a]

Or a second propeller rotating the opposite way like the chinook, osprey, or that really fast helicopter Sikorsky makes that I forgot the name of.

[@dv1494]

@@T-Dawg123a yea but I doubt he wants to add a whole other rotor

do you have any tips i how to engineer stablility nto a helicopter so that it flies well and stably?

10/10 vid. Is there anyway to get block 52 in the multiverse update? i got everything i need besides that Dx

How do you spawn 2 vehicles?

How does the tail operate? . My bell222 flies but the torque spins the frame:

[@picklesteve2313]

Does your helicopters use "Blade flapping" to counter the dissymmetry of lift from the blades going into the wind?

[@BigMathis]

Yes

[@picklesteve2313]

Im a big fan of your heli's and builds, but I must know... How did you accomplish blade flapping is it a mechanism or is it done using logic? I cant find any solid facts as to how real helos do it. Im trying to recreate a heli on another game trailmakers but the dissymitry of lift makes it roll and stuff.
