Michael;
For helicopters the fourth axis (probably more appropriately called control) is
"collective". It's used to control the pitch of the main rotor blades, usually from
about a positive 20 degrees to a negative 10 degrees. The throttle is normally slaved
to the collective control with a computer transmitter although it can be uncoupled and
controlled separately for various 3D maneuvers.
