heedm,
Lu is all wet yet again!
The rolling deck has motions that are small potatoes compared to the rates needed to create big rotor forces, and the swash plate does not get driven by the rotor, only an ignoramous could tell you that. If the swash plate moves because the rotor is "following" the deck motion, what happens to the sticks in the cockpit, which must move with the servos, and therefore with the swashplate. The sticks and swashplate are held in position by the big servos, which take thousands of pounds of force to move them backwards against the pilot's stick.
The answer that Lu is too ignorant to know is that the rotor stays at the same angle to the aircraft mast, and it develops some forces (very small), as it is moved about in space by the deck motions. Most decks have periods measured in many seconds, and motions of about 3 to 4 degrees (extreme deck motions for helos not using Haul-Down rigs is about 8 degrees - check the max deck angles in most operator procedures manuals). A rig or a large ship takes about 5 to 10 seconds to roll through that angle, so the roll rate is about one degree per second, maybe two. Compare this with a gentle hover cyclic wiggle, where you can generate 30 or 40 degrees per second roll rate.
Now you see why I must answer Lu's drivel, because he is so close in his crackpot drivel that he almost, almost makes sense.
Please, please, please watch yourself with Lu, it is almost like talking to one of those shopping cart fellows down town, the ones who think Nixon came back as Socks the Cat.
