🚁 Helicopter Rotor: Collective, Cyclic, Thrust and Induced Power (2D side view)

Side view of an early helicopter: collective pitch raises rotor thrust, cyclic tilts the disc to fly forward, and momentum theory gives induced velocity and power. Same rotor numbers as the 3D page, with blade-element, momentum, hover-trim and scaling checks.
