HUMONGOUS HELICOPTERS

Dear HIW,

Thank you for the insightful article about monster vehicles in issue 174. I had no idea some of those existed, and kudos to the ingenuity of all those who develop, create and maintain such vehicles. In particular, mention of the heftiest helicopter was most intriguing. On the subject of helicopters, although ‘stealth helicopter’ might be a contradiction in terms, I certainly would enjoy seeing How It Works cover the topic, if you haven’t already.

Stephen Parry
