A Dutch artist has turned his dead cat into a mini working helicopter so as to pay tribute to his feline friend, The Mirror reported.

Bart Jasen said his cat, Orville, was named after legendary aviator Orville Wright.

Jansen said the "Orvillecopter," which is being displayed at the Kunstrai art festival in Amsterdam, is a tribute to his beloved pet.

Four rotors were installed at the four ends of the stuffed deceased animal's limbs, creating enough thrust for a take-off.

The artist said his "half cat, half machine" creation will soon be "flying with the birds."

死貓變身直升機

???????據英國《鏡報》報道，荷蘭一名藝術家為了紀念自己死去的貓，決定把它做成一架可運轉的迷你直升機。

???????巴特·簡森說，他的貓名為奧威爾，是為了紀念傳奇航空家奧威爾·萊特（萊特兄弟之一）。

???????這架“直-奧威爾”目前正在阿姆斯特丹的昆斯特萊藝術節上展覽，簡森說他的目的在于向他摯愛的貓表示敬意。

???????貓已經被做成標本，它的四肢末端裝有四個旋翼，能夠產生起飛所需的足夠動力。

???????這名藝術家說，他的“半貓半機器”創作很快便可“與鳥類一起翱翔”。
