Helicopters are a marvel of technology that allows people to take to the air and fly to anywhere. The history of the creation of helicopters has more than a hundred years. In 1907, French inventor Paul Cornu managed to be the first to get up and fly in a helicopter, which was called the “Cornu Helicopter”. But before Paul, there were also attempts to create helicopters, but no one was able to fully fly this air transport.
There are many types of helicopters, from small single-seat to giant transport. They are used for a variety of purposes such as rescue missions, cargo transportation, patrols, and even entertainment.
The helicopter works on the principle of rotation of the blades, which create lift. They can also change the pitch of the blades to control flight direction and speed. Modern helicopters are equipped with the most advanced technologies such as autopilot and flight control systems.
Drawing a helicopter may seem like a daunting task, but with a little practice, you can create amazing images of various helicopters of varying complexity. Don’t forget to experiment to make your helicopter look as realistic as possible. Happy creativity!
