A helicopter is a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by rotors. This allows the helicopter to take off and land vertically, to hover, and to fly forward, backward, and laterally. These attributes allow helicopters to be used in congested or isolated areas where fixed-wing aircraft and many forms of VTOL (Vertical TakeOff and Landing) aircraft cannot perform.

The English word helicopter is adapted from the French word hélicoptère, coined by Gustave Ponton d'Amécourt in 1861, which originates from the Greek helix (ἕλιξ) "helix, spiral, whirl, convolution" and pteron (πτερόν) "wing". English language nicknames for helicopter include "chopper", "copter", "helo", "heli", and "whirlybird".

INTERNET

Is the internet reliable?

                                                 Written by Marinos Fergadiotis B' 5

Nowadays, the use of the Internet is essential as it is one of the main sources of information. But how reliable can it be?

Every day we come across information that in many cases is not complete, as well as some concepts that misinterpret us about the historical events and the truth even though we don’t realise it. These obscurities might affect our perception about a subject wrongly. I wasn’t going to write this article, but the intense disagreement of my sources about the subject of the first article I wanted to present, lead me abandon it and turn to this one.
