The latest super copters are an advanced breed of machines – built to fly fast and silently on an incredible range of missions. Just about anything a helicopter can do, the newest super copters can do better.
One such super copter, known as EH101, carries an array of high-tech features including three computer-controlled engines and a five-bladed rotor that offers extra maneuverability in flight and excellent visibility when landing. New copter designs will also be much more impervious to attack, with Kevlar and other advanced composite materials strengthening the body – while keeping it lightweight.
Using live action, re-creations, amazing archival footage and advanced CGI, we marvel at the creation of today’s super copters – extraordinary multi-purpose helicopters for the twenty-first century.
