    I read that the rotors share a common drive shaft that run all the way across to keep them locked in sync and so one engine can power both equally. I guess they feather the blade differentially to control bank angle?

      Not an aeronautical engineer, but that’s how all helicopters work in general, they change rotor pitch with constant angular velocity.
