Five Helicopters – Intermediate Packing Puzzle

Five Helicopters is a beautifully crafted tray packing puzzle designed by Tibor Mikloš and produced by Pelikan Puzzles. Featuring five identical helicopter-shaped pieces cut from a variety of exotic hardwoods, this puzzle combines visual appeal with a surprisingly engaging spatial challenge.

The objective is simple: fit all five helicopters into the tray. However, the unusual shapes, long rotor blades, and extended tails create a puzzle that is far less straightforward than it first appears. The pieces occupy a large amount of space and don't naturally seem to interlock, encouraging careful experimentation and creative thinking.

Success comes from recognizing how the pieces interact with one another and how they can be positioned within the boundaries of the tray. What initially appears impossible gradually reveals an elegant solution that rewards observation and persistence.
