From helicopter yoga to helicopter hotels, the incredibly adventurous aerial innovations we’ve featured have our heads spinning!
These helicopter-inspired innovations range from extreme Easter egg hunts where candies are dropped from the sky, to a tilt-shift helicopter rescue mission video. For real thrill-seekers, there’s even a strap-on heli backpack to turn you into a human helicopter!
Implications - Some established technological marvels, such as helicopters, do not need to be updated; however, this does not mean that there isn't room for innovation with these products. Thus, consumers and companies are adapting the aesthetic of certain tried and true forms of technology to capitalize on their familiarity and extend their shelf life.
