Oh dear....Once again the press have no idea of the difference between a helicopter and an autogyro.
Only the horrifying contraption with a 3 bladed wooden rotor is (or appears to be) a helicopter. The others are autogyros with a pusher propeller, and un-powered main rotor.
I doubt that Wing Commander Ken Wallis would approve of those Chinese machines, but then he is the worlds leading authority, and a thoroughly decent chap, who I've had the pleasure of meeting. Still flying in his own handywork at the age of 94....

A fusion reactor? Really? Where's his Nobel for physics?
"Once again the press have no idea of the difference between a helicopter and an autogyro."
Nor did I, until now! I just thought 'autogyro' meant 'one man helicopter'..
" Where's his Nobel for physics?"
Quite! I mean, if Obama can get one...
