Features: The term "helicopter" refers to an aircraft that generates lift and propulsion through the power-driven rotation of its rotors, capable of vertical takeoff and landing, hovering in the air, flying at high speeds close to the ground, and quickly changing direction in the air. To date, helicopters have been widely used by the land, sea, and air forces, becoming an important aerial force in their operations. Particularly in modern warfare, whether on land, at sea, or in the air, helicopters are seen everywhere. Amidst the explosions of helicopter bombs, rockets, and missiles, tanks groan, and warships burn. However, in the family of aircraft, helicopters are also unfortunate. Its emergence has painfully incubated for over two thousand years, consuming the efforts of generations.
By reviewing the confusion people had about helicopter principles over the years and their repeated efforts to overcome this confusion, we can not only understand the difficulties of the helicopter's development journey but also explore its ancestors and learn many stories about the gradual evolution of helicopters.
