By tilting the rotor disc.
Which one? One or both? Both tilt same way for roll?
Both tilt opposite way for yaw?
Anyone seen the RAF Chinook display in recent years? It's a spectacular demonstration of what can be done with such a large helicopter. I particularly like the 270 degree quickstops.

I saw a clip on youtube of how the commandos get back on the chinooks in RIB's! Looked very cool!

I took these at the Cosford airshow in 2004, it was the first time I'd seen a Chinook doing a display, never realised the old egg beater was so manoeuvrable.I got to have a poke around one in 7 Squadron's hanger once in Odiham when I was there doing a refresh of their computers, they also tried to make me drink my own weight in tea whilst I was there!

Heckilopters are the Work Of The Devil...
We should not be discussing them...
I couldn't help but laugh when my mates 3 year old son pointed at the Police helicopter and shouted "I can see the man in the helicockter!" the other day Heckilopters are the Work Of The Devil...
