Helicopters and Autogyros
Just a thought, but would it make more sense to put helicopters and autogyros under one heading, "Rotorcraft" ?
It's just that autogyros seem to be in another subtitle. Liz

It is all technically Aviation
and while we're at it, we could separate out trucks from the cars, and make racing vehicles their own subheading, same thing with Architecture, or the different Armor types. If there is enough call for it, we will consider doing the break up Rick

Forgive me please, not only am I a touch on the OCD side, but I have a passion for autogiros.
Liz P.S. Is it Autogiro, or Autogyro ?

it is autogyro, and i can appreciate the passion, as I have a huge interest in Helicopters, as evidenced by my bookcase where helicopter books outnumber most other interests, except for Origami(over 200)

Helicopters, Have the same aerodynamics as a bumble bee. Look overhead at all those hundreds of rotating, moving parts all looking to beat themselves apart.

Helicopter: Thousands of parts flying in formation held together by a nut
Helicopter: They don't fly, they are so ugly the ground rejects them

I have had upwards of 15 model helicopters over the last decade. I believe I have now proven beyond ALL DOUBT that helicopters cannot fly.
I am prepared to demonstrate this fact to anyone who will supply me with an R/C helicopter to demonstrate the principle of non-flight. I also can prove beyond all doubt that Autogyros cannot be built. I ordered two at different times from a not to be named company, they arrive, in a neat box which on opening seemed to contain a vast quantity of small, easily lost parts with no packing or instructions. I emailed the company and explained my problem and they suggested that I visited a forum (not run by them) to see if anyone had any idea of what they where doing. I visited the forum and every post said either "This cannot be built" or "this cannot be made to fly" I rest my case Liz P.S. I believe the company has also realised that Autogyros cannot be built and have withdrawn the kit.

I was a Senior Tech Writer for Boeing for the better part of 23 years, assigned to the Chinook in Philadelphia! Actually, you're all wrong! The Helicopter (rotary wing aircraft) are indeed that ugly, and they are a bag of parts flying in loose formation, but the real secret is that a helicopter simply beats the air into submission!!? BTW, I think one or at MOST three levels of detail are best! Say:
Aircraft, lighter than air Balloons Commercial Military Blimps Commercial Military Dirigibles Commercial Military Aircraft, rotary wing Aorogyro Commercial Military Helicopter Commercial Military Aircraft, fixed wing Propeller driven Commercial Military Jet Commercial Military Rockets Commercial Military Missiles Or something along those lines! |
