The german word for aeroplane is similar, “Flugzeug” directly translates to “flying thing”.
Helicopter is also fun, “Hubschrauber” translates to “lifting screwer”.
Now I am curious as to what the Chinese characters in their word for helicopter mean, since panda is “bear cat,” owl is “cat headed eagle,” and peacock is “thunder chicken,” IIRC.

Not to be confused with Hubschraubär.
