Helicopters - History Documentary Films Helicopter - a sort of rotorcraft where lift and thrust are provided by rotors. This enables the helicopter to take off and land vertically, to float, and to fly ahead, backward, as well as laterally. These attributes permit helicopters to be utilized in congested or isolated locations where fixed-wing aircraft as well as several types of VTOL (vertical launch and also landing) plane can not do. Words helicopter is adapted from the French language, created by Gustave Ponton in 1861, which originates from the Greek helix "helix, spiral, whirl, convolution" and pteron "wing". English-language labels for helicopter include "chopper", "copter", "helo", "heli", as well as "whirlybird". Helicopters were created and built throughout the first half-century of air travel, with the Focke-Wulf Fw 61 being the very first operational helicopter in 1936. Some helicopters got to limited production, however it was not until 1942 that a helicopter made by Igor Sikorsky reached full-blown manufacturing, with 131 plane developed. Though the majority of earlier styles used more than one primary rotor, it is the single primary rotor with anti-torque tail rotor setup that has become the most typical helicopter configuration. Tandem rotor helicopters are additionally in prevalent usage due to their better payload ability. Coaxial helicopters, tiltrotor plane, as well as substance helicopters are all flying today. Quadcopter helicopters pioneered as early as 1907 in France, and other sorts of multicopter have been created for specialized applications such as unmanned drones.

Dawn

21 Sep 2015

IS a global economic recession likely? If so, what might trigger it? Willem Buiter, Citi’s chief economist and the Financial Times’ erstwhile Maverecon blogger, answers these questions. ‘Yes’ and ‘China’. His case is plausible. This does not mean we must expect a recession. But people should see such a scenario as plausible ... The best response to a big slowdown might be ‘helicopter money’, created by the central bank to stimulate spending....

Top Falling Up, Helicopters

I couldn't have stopped it, stayed awake
Now caught in the rafters to veil a trace
You covered a vision, it's all I had
Now drink to your poison to feel the stab
Ticking like a time bomb
Ticking like a time bomb
I landed here to breathe
And I landed here to breathe
But I never felt this strange
Await for an inlay to monitor
But notice my hands shake and my vision blurred
Dimming till the light's off
Dimming till the light's off
I landed here to breathe
And I landed here to breathe
And I landed here to breathe
But I never felt this strange
I landed here to breathe
And I landed here to breathe
And I landed here to breathe

Top The Stills, Helicopters

...and how your heatwave ran
Through our snow black fields
And we dropped our young
To a ragtime feel
And it's been ten long weeks
And there's still no word
Our Arctic Graceland
And the whale fat burn
My moon's a naked cold star
Why do you take this so hard.
So keep this song
Til you catch diseases
And wait them out
Til this tundra freezes
..and how your heatwave ran
Through our snow black fields
My moon's a naked cold star
Why do you take this so hard.
Helicopters are chasing
Animals through the fields
Helicopters are chasing
Our spirits into the sea

Top Yellow Tricycle, Helicopters

I don't know for sure
You look like an angel
Is it such a crime
Just pack up your things
Babe before the city lights up
Before they find us
Before they find out
That we've crossed the line
Is it such a crime
The hell with them all yeah
The hell with them all
They won't leave us alone
They won't leave us alone
I wish we could die with you in my arms
And me in your arms and then...
Helicopters all over the sky tracking us
Fire in the sky fire in the sky
Holding your hand we got no choice but run away
Tears in our hearts
Tears in our hearts
We are now on the roof of the empire
Look how the sun shines
How the sun shines
This is the final breath
This is the final cut
Time to crash-land
Time to crash-land
Falling to a higher ground
Elevating from the clouds
Buildings wheeling around
Your face is so peaceful now
This is the final breath
This is the final breath
All we have to do is
Follow the light
Follow the light
Falling to a higher ground
Elevating from the clouds
I wish

Top Barenaked Ladies, Helicopters

This is where the helicopters came to take me away
This is where the children used to play
This is only half a mile away from the attack
This is where my life changed in a day
And then it changed back
Buried in the din of rotor noise and close explosions
I do my best to synthesize the sounds and my emotions
This is where the allies bombed the school,
They say by mistake
Here nobody takes me for a fool, just for a fake
Later at the hotel bar, the journalists are waiting
I hurry back to my guitar while they're commiserating
And I'll be leaving soon
I'll be leaving soon
Just as soon as we were on the ground
We were back in the jet
Just another three day foreign tour we'd never forget
It's hard to sympathize with all this devastation
Hopping 'round from site to site like tourists on vacation
And I'll be leaving soon
I'll be leaving soon
I can't help anyone cause everyone's so cold
Everyone's so skeptical of everything they're told
And even I get sick of needing to be sold
Though it's only half a month away, the media's gone
An entertaining scandel broke today, but I can't move on
I'm haunted by a story and I do my best to tell it
Can't even give this stuff away, why would I sell it?
Everybody's laughing, while at me they point a finger
A world that loves its irony must hate the protest singer
So I'll be leaving soon
I'll be leaving soon
I'll be leaving soon
