Inspired by the American Dream of the 1950's "Helicopters for Everybody", after working at the Ohio State University (Columbus, Ohio) and University of Pittsburgh, Charles Lin, founder of Yoshine Helicopters decided in the late 1990's to make the Helicopters so Everybody can fly to work:
In 1994, the first such a personal helicopter made its maiden flight in Florida at the "EAA" Airshow, demonstrating the "autorotation" capability is capable of "Safe Landings", even when the engine quits from hovering as low as10 to 25 feet! See the following video:
“Autorotation" is an inherent characteristic and ability of a “helicopter”, as learned from a toy "BambooCopter”. Once you've learned and mastered the autorotation procedure, you will be able to land a helicopter safely, when the power "quits", even in the very low height of 10 to 25 feet, you can still control and land a helicopter, safely !
In 1996, Charles Lin was invited to the "Monte Carlo Yacht & Helicopter Show" where Prince Rainier of Monaco happened to have come see the Personal Helicopter presented by our sales partner：
In 1999, 2-seat version were developed with the FAA approval as an “ultralight helicopter” trainers.
1999年，在各國需求的及FAA的批准下，雙座 “警用” 訓練直升機，開始外銷歐美紐澳印度等國：
In 2002, with help from AIDC, Yoshine's first "Coaxial Unmanned Helicopter" took off in Taichung, Taiwan, and was invited to exhibit at the HeliTech 2003, in Duxford, UK.
