Feel free to analyze and use my swashplate concept in any creations. The wheel spins automatically and slowly, allowing you to see how everything moves and works together. Speed up the wheel to see the power of the lift! This concept is functional when speeding up the automatic wheel to be in equilibrium with the weight of the machine.

Controls:
Spin - (Auto)
Direction - TFGH
Lift - ZX

Actually, a swash plate consists of 2 sections: a rotating tilting plate and a non-rotating tilting plate. I consulted with a career helicopter mechanic and an aeronautic engineer on this project.

Let me know if I'm misunderstanding something!

It's a tilt mechanism, not a swashplate.
The rotor disk does not move in a swashplate mechanism, only the pitch of the rotor blades change periodically.
However its collective (total blade pitch) control is made properly.
