A helical actuator includes a plurality of piezo elements for controlling a rotor blade of an aircraft. In this case, the actuator is designed to be arranged so as to be wound around a rotor blade neck and to be fastened to a rotor mast and a rotor blade in each case. Applying a control voltage to the piezo elements causes the actuator to expand, which, in turn, causes the rotor blade to rotate.
