[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","The modern helicopter is a sophisticated device which merges a surprising number of technologies together.  This wide range of disciplines is one of the fascinations of the helicopter, but it is also makes a complete understanding difficult.Those searching for an understanding of the helicopter will find The Art of the Helicopter invaluable.  John Watkinson approaches every subject associated with the helicopter from first principles and builds up in a clearly explained logical sequence using plain English and clear diagrams, avoiding unnecessary mathematics.Technical terms and"]
