A helicopter flying through the sky 🚁 The big blades on top spin round and round so it can rise straight up! The sample is a sunny yellow, but any bright color works. Add a blue sky around it if you like. A fun page for young vehicle fans to color with a parent or teacher.

How can a helicopter go straight up?
The big spinning blades on top (the main rotor) push air down hard, and that lifts the helicopter straight up. Unlike an airplane, it doesn’t need a runway to take off.
What jobs do helicopters do?
Helicopters fly injured people to hospital, drop water on fires, rescue people from mountains and the sea, and film the news from the sky. They can land in small spaces, which makes them very useful.
What is the little propeller at the back for?
When the big rotor spins, it tries to twist the helicopter’s body the other way. The small propeller at the back (the tail rotor) pushes against that twist, so the helicopter flies straight instead of spinning around.
