    What’s the term I heard about helicopters? Something along the lines of:

    A helicopter is 1000 moving parts all conspiring to kill you? Something like that.

      I like James May’s description

      A plane elegantly uses the laws of physics to fly. A helicopter just beats them into submission.

      Or something like that.
