That appears to have already been mentioned in the article itself. Reading over it it seems that the improvement here is fully independent control of all the blades. From what I can see in diagrams of the Voith Schneider Propeller it seems to be a single linkage to all the blades that cause them to all be at the same angle depending on their current position in the rotation.
If I'm getting this all wrong please someone correct me, I am interested in learning what the differences are.

- TeMPOraL 2y agoThere rarely is any useful information in opening sentence or paragraph of a typical article, so as with banner blindness, it's excusable to read the article and still miss it.
- kayodelycaon 2y agoYeah. That's an oops on my part. The "first paragraph" isn't part of the article text. It's styled as a quote, summary, or caption. Safari's reader view displays it as such. (Gray sub-heading) I tend to skip those because they are often misleading.
- all2 2y agoThe linkage system in helicopters was called a "swash plate", a rather ingenious method of controlling pitch of rotating elements.
