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

I dunno about horses and contraptions vs gizmos in regard to helicopters all I can tell you for sure is that flying one is terrifying

An airplane flies because of mans mastery of the theories of fluid and thermal dynamics.

A helicopter flies because its so ugly the ground just pushes them away.

I've also heard helicopters, specifically the MH-36 be described as "10,000 loosely associated metal pieces rotating wildly around an oil leak."

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.
