A one-man helicopter 1 in which a drive transmission 10 that transmits driving force to upper and lower rotors 5 and 6 comprises first and second planet gear mechanisms 100 and 200 provided with a common carrier 104. When the common carrier 104 is rotated by a motor 301, a differential motion is generated between the two planet gear mechanisms. This results in the rotors being rotated at different velocities, which can be used to control yaw. A fore-and-aft swing mechanism 400 and right-and-left swing mechanism 500 depend from the lower end of a vertical shaft 41 on which the rotors are supported. Moving a stick 8 forward or backward, or to either side, tilts the vertical shaft 41 in the same direction. When the stick 8 is not subjected to a controlling force, the vertical shaft 41 reverts automatically to its original vertical state. This configuration makes it possible to realize a coaxial twin-rotor type helicopter having a compact, structurally simple control mechanism.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A coaxial twin-rotor type helicopter in which an upper rotor and a lower rotor disposed on the same axis are rotated in opposite directions, said helicopter comprising:an airframe, a vertical shaft that rotatably supports the rotors, and a control mechanism that, with respect to a gravitational force direction, can tilt the vertical shaft backward and forward and to either side to thereby tilt tips of blades of the rotors; whereinthe control mechanism has a first slider attached to a lower end portion of the vertical shaft, a first guide-rail formed in an arc centering on a swing center point on a center axis of the vertical shaft so that the first guide rail is freely swingable along the first slider backward and forward or to either side about the swing center point, a second slider attached to a top of the airframe, a second guide-rail that depends from the first guide-rail and is formed in an arc centering on the swing center point, extending perpendicularly, with respect to the first guide-rail, so that the second slider is freely swingable along said second guide-rail about the swing center point in a direction at right-angles to the swinging direction of the first slider, and a control stick that can swing the vertical shaft backward and forward and to either side.
