Fixed wing aircraft work even when parts fall off, rotary works until parts fail. Fixed wings glide, rotary don’t.<<<

Don't fool yourself!!!.....lose the power in a fixed wing...You're TOAST!

Lose the power in a helicopter and u have any altitude...you can safely land on a dime!...Helo Pilots practice that all the time...AUTOROTATION is your friend!!!...(of course you only get one shot at it!)

This guy is pretty good..but I've seen better!
