>rotor pitch
How does the rotor pitch changes without the jet engine moving? I guess that's my original question but I didn't know what words to use.

Individual main rotor blade angles (pitch) are changed by the swash plate. Tilting the swash plate (cyclic input) creates more lift on one side of the rotor. Raising or lowering the swash plate (collective input) creates more or less lift.
