VW Frankencopter

From the comments section:
“I had hoped to see a video of this copter in flight. Alas, it’s never going to fly! Here’s more info I located on Instagram:
Aircraft maintenance expert Chuck Jurgen Teschke from Alberta, Canada, is creating a unique hybrid by combining a classic VW T1 Bus with parts from an Airbus H125 helicopter. This project, known as the ‘Frankencopter,’ is a static art installation designed to resemble a helicopter, though it is not intended to fly. The build features a modified VW Bus shell integrated with helicopter components, including landing skids and a tail boom, resulting in a striking visual piece that blends automotive and aviation elements.”
