A rotatable swashplate is rotatable relative to a stationary swashplate around a shaft and connects to a pitch control rod assembly. The rotatable swashplate includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion is extendable outside of a stationary swashplate and includes a plurality of lugs each configured to attach to a pitch control rod assembly, an innermost wall configured to receive a shaft, and a membrane. The lower portion is positionable within the stationary swashplate and has an outermost wall and at least one extension extending radially between the outermost wall and the innermost wall. The membrane extends radially over the at least one extension.
