The Chinese word for helicopter, 直升机 (zhíshēngjī), is a compound of two characters: 直 (zhí), meaning "straight" or "direct", and 升 (shēng), meaning "to rise" or "to ascend". The term 直升机 literally translates to "straight-up-rising machine", which aptly describes the vertical takeoff and landing capabilities of a helicopter. This name captures the essence of the aircraft's unique ability to ascend and descend vertically, distinguishing it from other types of aircraft.
