The Helicopter, an enthusiastic film, explains the way helicopters work, what they are used for, and how they are operated. In easily understandable terms, the film discusses the engineering principals behind helicopter flight, and then captures many rare and experimental specimens in action. There is even footage of an autogyro. It describes the many uses of helicopters, including spraying crops, transporting soldiers, and more. This film is so impressed with helicopters, it even predicts that in the future every household will have its own helipad. In the final scene, a helicopter is shown leaving the landing pad of a private home, as if to show the validity of their optimistic assertion.
