The spinning bladed helicopters we have can go in all 6 directions. They can spin their 2 or 4 long blades real fast and it lifts them off the helipad straight up off the ground and into the sky and once they're clear above grounded trees and grounded buildings they can go in all 6 directions like up, down, left, right, forward, backward, air brake and even hover in midair. They can land straight down without rolling on the road runway. The winged airplanes we have can only go in 4 to 5 directions which means they need to be at the airport. They can go in 4 directions at the airport which means they can brake and backup. The winged planes roll very fast on the road runway like a fast wheel car in order for the air to bend over 2 wings to lift it off the ground and into the sky. Once in the air you lose the ability to air brake and backup but you also gain the up and down direction which totals 5 directions and then when you want to land you have to aim for the road runway so you glide and roll and then you have to air brake and bring it to the unloading areas. The puffed up hot air balloons only go up and down and they're literally gone with the wind in the sky in other words you can't steer them but the wind steers for you at random and you have to find a field to land at. Now out of all 3 20th century flying machines here's the prize for how well they're performed according to my viewpoint.
First place Spinning bladed helicopters: The reason is it can go in all 6 directions with vertical takeoff and landing air braking, backup and hovering still and land straight down.
Second place Gliding winged airplanes: The reason is it has to roll on the runway like a wheel car for a diagonal takeoff for forward flight excluding air brakes, backups, hovering still and has to fly down for a diagonal landing on the runway.
Third place puffed up hot air balloons: The reason is it needs alot of hot air from the propane tank and get it pumped up in an oval shape and has to rely on random air currents to steer it and you have to slowly let out air to land it.
Even though all 3 machines fly in the sky, they're not street legal meaning you can't drive it around town or in a city or at the highway or freeway because they stick way out, take too much room, and pose a poking or smacking hazard. So you have to wait for a wheel car ride most of the time. So hopefully we'll be able to go beyond helicopters.
