Twin-Rotor Helicopter Paper Model - by Canon

The Real Thing
A helicopter is a type of aircraft which is driven by a rotor. Its engine causes the long, thin wings on its top known as a rotor to spin, helping it to lift off the ground. Compared to fixed-wing airplanes, helicopters are slow and not as fuel efficient, therefore they are only able to fly for short distances. However, their ability to freely fly vertically, backwards, and sideways, and to hover in the air, means they can take off and land even in small spaces. This means they are in wide practical use for transporting supplies, for rescue missions, and for aerial work services.This paper craft is a model of a twin-rotor helicopter, a type of helicopter with two rotors on the same axis. - Canon

Photobucket
Another type of  Twin-Rotor Helicopter
Helicóptero é um tipo de aeronave de asas rotativas, mais pesada que o ar, propulsada por um ou mais rotores horizontais maiores (propulsores) que, quando girados pelo motor, criam sustentação e propulsão necessárias para o voo. Devido ao fato de as pás do rotor girarem em torno de um mastro, são classificados como aeronave de asa rotativa, o que os distingue das aeronaves de asa-fixa convencional (avião). Em contraste com aeronaves de asa fixa, isso permite que o helicóptero possa decolar e pousar verticalmente, pairar e ir para frente, para trás e lateralmente. Esses atributos permitem aos helicópteros serem utilizado em áreas congestionadas ou isoladas em que as aeronaves de asa fixa não seriam capaz de pousar ou decolar. A capacidade de pairar por longos períodos de tempo e de decolagem e aterragem vertical permite aos helicópteros realizar tarefas que as aeronaves de asa fixa não podem executar. Os helicópteros foram desenvolvidos e construídos durante a primeira metade de século XX, com alguma produção e alcance limitado, mas foi só em 1942 que um helicóptero projetado por Igor Sikorsky atingiu a produção em larga escala, com 131 aeronaves construídas.

Kaiten - Kamikaze Human Torpedo Paper Model - by Renova Models

Model Assembled and Photo by  Udon Factory

The Real Thing - Captured - 1945
The Kaiten (the literal translation from Japanese to English can be "Return to the sky", commonly rendered as: "The turn toward heaven", "The Heaven Shaker" or "Change the World") were manned torpedos and suicide craft, used by the Imperial Japanese Navy in the final stages of World War II. I took the liberty to transcribe below, the text of Udon, Japanese designer, who is also the photo I used to illustrate this post:

"KAITEN" that is the name of this Kamikaze weapon mean "The fate reversal" .
In a sense,it's a sorrowful name. By the way,what do you think about "Kamikaze Soldiers"? Do you think that they were "the fanatic soldiers"? Actually,most Kamikaze Soldiers were not the fanatic soldiers. Certainly,they were writing, "I'm proud to die for the emperor" in the last letter to the family in many cases. But in those days, all letters were inspected. Therefore, it was not possible to write in "I don't want to die", "Kamikaze is unwilling", etc the letter. If such a letter was found to the sensor, the person (The family too) who had written a letter was considered to be a traitor. So The Kamikaze Soldiers wrote there real intention in there final letter carefully. In most cases, they left the real intention to the sentence in which it worried about their own family.

The Kaiten I's were deployed from Japanese B-1 Class Submarine I-36
 Kaiten (a tradução literal do Japonês para o Português pode ser "Retorno Para Os Céus", comumente traduzido como "De Encontro Aos Céus", "Abalador Do Paraíso" ou "Mudar O Mundo"), eram torpedos tripulados por soldados suícidas, usados pela Marinha Imperial Japonesa nos estágios finais da Segunda Grande Guerra Mundial. Eu tomei a liberdade de transcrever abaixo, o texto de Udon, designer japonês, de quem também é a foto que eu utilizei para ilustrar este post:

"Kaiten" é o nome desta arma Kamikaze, que significa " O Destino Reverso". Em certo sentido, este é um nome doloroso. O que você acha dos soldados Kamikazes? você acha que eles eram soldados fanáticos? Na verdade, muitos soldados Kamikazes não eram fanáticos e nem estavam muito a fim de morrer pela causa. Obviamente, todos eles escreviam: - Sinto-me honrado e orgulhoso por morrer pelo Imperador! - na carta de despedida padrão para suas famílias. Mas, naqueles dias, haviam censores que liam tudo que era escrito. Covardia não era tolerada. Assim, ninguém escrevia: - Eu não quero morrer! - ou - ser Kamikaze não é uma alternativa! - Se uma carta com esse teor fosse encontrada, tanto o soldado como sua família seriam considerados traidores. Então o Kamikaze deixava suas reais intenções camufladas nas frases em que dizia se preocupar com o bem estar de sua família. - Udon
