What is a Helicopter?

A helicopter is a special kind of flying machine. It has a big set of blades on the top called rotors. These rotors spin round and round, and that’s what helps the helicopter go up in the sky!

How Do Helicopters Fly?

Helicopters can fly in many different ways. They can go up, down, and sideways! Here's how:

• Going Up: When the blades spin quickly, they push the air down, and the helicopter can lift up into the sky.
• Going Down: When the pilot wants to come down, they make the blades spin slower so the helicopter gently descends.
• Turning: By tilting the blades a little, the helicopter can turn to the left or right.

What Makes Helicopters Special?

Unlike airplanes, helicopters can take off and land in smaller places. They don’t need a long runway because of their spinning blades!
