PD-100 Black two: Mini helicopter scout

From fiction to our reality. Mini reconnaissance helicopters.

 

Remembering numerous fantastic books and films, I never thought that I would live to see the embodiment of many ideas and inventions. Learning about new gadgets, novelties of nanotechnology, I recall with nostalgia an old telephone booth without glasses, which stood on the corner of the house a couple of blocks from mine. And, as a child, my father made a flying propeller, which was activated by fast unwinding of the coil on the axis from the nail. Then it was necessary to rewind the twine on the spool, adjust the two carnations without a cap with a celluloid propeller, and again rushing the rope to run the propeller in height.
