Under the sharper vision of the glasses he saw that the rider was equipped with a pack strapped between his shoulders and a bulbous helmet covering most of his head. Highly specialized equipment for communication, Travis guessed. "That is a 'copter up above," Nolan said. "Different shape from ours." They had been familiar with helicopters back on Terra.
They've looked with helicopters, and even on the ground; you couldn't do any more. I'll keep in touch, to see if anything turns up..." After a minute, Nelsen relaxed, slightly. "Two-and-Two? I guess he's okay with Charlie Reynolds looking after him?" "Peculiar about Charlie," Gimp answered, looking awed and puzzled.
Followed by the slaves, the party entered the Skylark, and the dark green people embarked in their airplanes and helicopters. Nalboon rode in a large and gaily-decorated plane, which led the fleet at its full speed of six hundred miles an hour, the Skylark taking a placing a few hundred yards above the flagship. "I don't get these folks at all, Mart," said Seaton, after a moment's silence.
Tom, looking back from the soaring jet, could see one of the helicopters on its way to the missile ship to deliver the first batch of tapes. It was late afternoon when the Navy jet touched down on the Enterprises airfield. The Swifts' sprawling experimental station was a walled, four-mile-square enclosure with landing strips, work-shops, and laboratories, near the town of Shopton.
The Master slowed the helicopters. A glance at the altimeter showed him 1,965 feet. The compass in its binnacle gave him direction. "Pit number one!" he sharply exclaimed into the phone connecting therewith. "Yes, sir!" came back the observer's voice. "Keep a sharp eye out for Niss'rosh! Remember, two red lights showing there!" "Yes, sir. I'll report as soon as I pick them up."
The outcome though would be not to allow any of the Services to divert general support money into core competencies and thereby shift the jointness burden to another Service. Innovate. Use the carrier to haul the army to war, and then fly the fighters aboard after the helicopters or tanks are unloaded.
Then once again we have the two-thirds power law militating against the successful construction of large helicopters, on the ground that the essential weight increases disproportionately fast to the effective area.
He handed me my key from the rack. "Going far, Jac? What a night! They'll be ordering them off if many more go up.... Going north?" "No," I said shortly. I was away, rising with my helicopters until the city was a yellow haze beneath me. I was going north to Dr. Brende's little private island off the coast of Maine. The lower lanes were pretty well crowded.
From this height they were toys made of colored paper, soft colors glistening in the hot noon sunlight, and around and about them wove lines of flashing, moving helicopters, the individual lost in the mass of the million or so swiftly moving machines. Only the higher, steadily moving levels of traffic were visible to them. "Just look at that traffic!
Thousands and thousands coming back into the city after going home to lunch and every day the number of helicopters is increasing! If it hadn't been for your invention of this machine, conditions would soon be impossible. The airblast in the cities is unbearable now, and getting worse all the time.
