A helicopter is a type of aircraft that has rotary wings. The engine causes the long slender wings, called rotors, at the top of the helicopter to rotate, providing lift and allowing the helicopter to fly. Compared to aircraft with fixed wings, helicopters are slow and get poor mileage so they don’t fly long continuous distances. But they can take off and land in narrow places because they have the unique ability to move up and down vertically, as well as fly in reverse, sideways and hover. For these reasons, helicopters have been put to use in many ways, such as for transporting cargo, conducting rescue operations, and for industrial aviation. This paper-craft helicopter is a standard single-rotor type.

This British Airways Boeing 747-400 papercraft is modelled on the British Airways plane of the same name. The red and blue mark on the nose, referred to as the Speedbird, is the British Airways (BA) logo mark. The design of the mark has undergone changes over the years, however, the name “Speedbird” has remained the same since the days of BOAC, which was a predecessor of BA. Even today, air traffic controllers and pilots refer to BA planes not as British Airway but as “Speedbirds” in communications. The exterior view of the Boeing 747 is characterized by a two-story cabin. The cockpit is located at the front tip of the second floor, making the pilot’s eye line 8m above the ground. The first floor has no cockpit but is wholly used for passenger seating, and the shape of the pointed tip can be seen from the inside.The Boeing 747-400 measures 70.6m in length, with a 64.4m wingspan and height of 19.4m. Its maximum takeoff weight is 412.8 tons, and it can cover distances of 14,205 km.

The Wright Flyer is the aircraft built by the Wright brothers, Wilbur Wright and his younger brother Orville. The main wings were of biplane configuration, and it featured a gasoline engine and two 2.6m diameter propellers which were powered by a chain drive. It was revolutionary in the fact that it could hold a pilot, and it had a horizontal stabilizer in the front and a vertical stabilizer in the rear. The pilot could control the wings via a wire, and lay on his stomach to fly the plane. The plane saw its first successful flight in 1903, at Kitty Hawk in America’s North Carolina, and the Wright Flyer is generally considered to hold the title of the first powered, piloted aircraft in the world.
