It's clearly an autogyro, which was invented in 1932. Amelia Earhart set an altitude record in one the year before the movie takes place.


** That helicopter is quite advanced for 1933. Considering Warbucks calls it an "auto-copter" and describes it as though it's a new invention, it's possibly meant to be some kind of DieselPunk device.[[note]]The first fully-controllable helicopter was the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Fw_61 Focke-Wulf Fw 61]], introduced in 1936 by Focke-Achgelis in [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi Germany]] and piloted by noted German aviatrix Hanna Reitsch in 1938.[[/note]] Perhaps his car phone[[note]](the first 80-pound units became available in the US in 1946)[[/note]] is a similar deal. One wonders what World War II will look like in the Annieverse.
