a helicopter is a contraption. no arguments on this point. it's shocking they make a sound other than "1930s toontown awooga car struggling to turn over"

  • rotor held on by single, large nut and milspec thread lock
  • steered by using a rigid plate to suggest where rotor blades should go
  • most energy converted to noise
  • piloted only by levers, dials and valves
  • fragile and prone to explosions
  • vehicle with the most catostrophic accidents in it's class

a helicopter is a steam locomotive

It's illegal to show that picture and not mention it is called the "Jesus nut". Because if it comes loose, there's only one person can save you...

Note this is a different thing to a "Jesus bar" which is a hand-hold on the passenger side of most fast cars. If the driver gets busy with the loud pedals, it is traditional for the passenger to grasp the bar firmly and say its name.
