The Russian backpack of the first link (Yula), as seen in this link http://images.google.com.br/imgres?imgurl=http://avia.russian.ee/foto/polyot_yula.jpg&imgrefurl=http://avia.russian.ee/helicopters_eng/polyot_yula-r.html&h=273&w=285&sz=11&hl=pt-BR&start=15&tbnid=OF01nWREqEHCxM:&tbnh=110&tbnw=115&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dyula%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Dpt-BR%26lr%3D%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:pt-BR:official%26sa%3DN may probably contain a seat. Since this is the only informaton about it I could find (and I believe the only one Russia government released), I believe it should be placed as "With a seat"... 201.56.56.248 21:56, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

Image is god-awful; article would be better off without it. (IMHO.) Muad 12:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is better than no image. Other images are copyright and many of them do not show detail. Anthony Appleyard 13:24, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I uploaded one that I took at PIMA museum, Arizona. I think it may be more suitable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.90.76.67 (talk) 11:21, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed the main image. This time with the new filename it should meet Wikipedia requirements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hayden747 (talk • contribs) 09:05, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reality[edit]

Is this suppose to be a discussion of fictitious concepts of flight? I mean no anti-torque system, no flight controls makes this physically impossible.--THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^TALK 15:29, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you should educate yourself. Look up "contra-rotating". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.90.76.67 (talk) 11:19, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you should study page history before making a fool out of yourself. --THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^PRAISE 00:23, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant link in Backpack helicopter[edit]

(1) I removed the first link in the "Pure backpacks" section because the Libelula backpack helicopter is mentioned again at the end of the section, with the very same link. Devil Master (talk) 20:22, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(2)I removed the link for Pentecost Hoppicopter at the National Air & Space Museum. This display can no longer be found on their website.

Are ducted fans considered as helicopters?[edit]

I would have thought that ducted fans would not be considered as helicopters on several fronts. Hence the reference to the Martin Jetpack is probably incorrectly included in this article. Any comments? Mac160 (talk) 22:51, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the reference to the Martin Jetpack as it is not a helicopter or backpack helicopter. Mac160 (talk) 02:29, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I note that the Martin Jetpack article currently states that it "is a personal helicopter". This would seem to be inconsistent. I'm not one for the taxonomy of flying machines, so I'll leave it to others to resolve the issue. —— Unbitwise (talk) 04:09, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
