A Helicopter Flying Past the Lighthouse

This helicopter above a lighthouse coloring page uses a wide, landscape layout. The helicopter fills the upper left part of the page, with long main rotor blades, a smaller tail rotor, a row of side windows and two landing skids underneath. On the right, a tall lighthouse rises from a pile of smooth coastal rocks; its tower has an arched door, a small window, painted bands and a lantern room with a railing at the top. Rows of gentle waves stretch across the bottom of the page, and a puffy cloud floats in the sky.

How Helicopters and Lighthouses Work

A helicopter's main rotor works like a set of spinning wings: as the blades turn, they push air downward and lift the aircraft, so it can hover in one spot, fly sideways or even move backward. The small tail rotor keeps the body from turning the opposite way to the main blades. Lighthouses warn ships away from rocks and guide them toward safe harbors. Each one has its own light pattern at night and its own paint scheme by day, so sailors can tell which lighthouse they are looking at.

Real-Life Colors for the Helicopter and Lighthouse

  • Helicopter body: red, orange or yellow with white, like many rescue helicopters
  • Rotor blades and skids: dark gray or black
  • Helicopter windows: light blue or pale gray glass
  • Lighthouse tower: white with red or black bands
  • Lantern room: glowing yellow light with a black or red roof and railing
  • Sea and rocks: blue and turquoise waves with gray or brownish-gray rocks
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why does a helicopter have a small rotor on its tail?
When the big main rotor spins one way, the helicopter body tends to turn the other way. The tail rotor pushes sideways against that force and keeps the helicopter pointed straight.
Why are some lighthouses painted with stripes?
The stripes and colors are called a daymark. They make a lighthouse easy to spot and recognize in daylight, when its lamp is not needed.
How do helicopters help people at sea?
Coast guard and rescue helicopters can hover above a boat or a person in the water and lower a rescuer on a cable. This lets them reach people quickly in places where a ship cannot get close.
