Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 449.6 Hz, 37 cents sharp of A4. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it

A helicopter lifts itself with a big rotor on top: its long blades are thin, spinning wings. By tilting the blades, the pilot can fly up, down, forward, backward or sideways, or hover in one place. The small rotor on the tail stops the body from spinning around the other way.

Its rotors are always turning. Tap to take off: it lifts into the air, tips its nose down a little and hovers, bobbing gently. Tap again to land. Pick its color in the Splash tab. Helicopters can land in places planes cannot, so they are used for rescues at sea and in the mountains.
