Helicopter flight controls blades collectively ("i.e.," all at the same time) and independent of their position. Therefore, if a collective input is made, all the blades change equally, and as a result, the helicopter increases or decreases its total lift derived from the rotor. In level flight this would cause a climb or descent, while with the helicopter pitched forward an increase in total lift would produce an acceleration together with a given amount of ascent. The collective pitch control in a Boeing CH-47 Chinook is called a "thrust control", but serves the same purpose, except that it controls two rotor systems, applying
