Artificial Intelligence & AI Technology on Instagram: "Hovering a helicopter just above the sea is flying on the edge of physics. 🚁🌊 Rotor wash slams into the water and rebounds as chaotic vortices, disrupting the smooth airflow needed for stable lift. Blades slice through clean air and turbulence simultaneously, creating dramatic-looking but entirely aerodynamic forces. In heavy helicopters like the Mi-8 or Mi-17, loss of translational lift, rising power demand, spray interference, and razor-
