This allows the helicopter ascend, descend, or maintain level flight. The aircraft's lift to exceed its weight and ascend. stick manipulates the pitch of all the rotor blades equally; this collective pitch changes the angle of attack of the rotor blades, giving the helicopter either more lift than is More lift needed to counteract the aircraft's weight, less lift, or an equal amount.
