On Mother's Day do I wear white or red flower?

I strongly suggest wearing whichever color your Mom would like best, whether a flower or even a pretty outfit.

And don't forget to plan on cooking breakfast for your Mom and serving her in bed, after she has had an extra long sleep.

Don't worry about any mess in the kitchen. Dad can look after that all by himself.

Breakfast in bed and, afterwards, a big " I love you " hug is a wonderful family tradition in many homes on her special day.

I think the question may refer to the tradition where the color of the flower worn indicates whether the mother is living or not. Red indicates that your mother is living. White indicates that she has passed away. I have not seen this in practice for years, tho, but I think it is a very nice tradition.

Does France celebrate Mothers day?

Think one Mother's Day a year simply isn't enough? Moms can get a second dose of attention by celebrating France's Fête des Mères on June 7. A French tradition that was inaugurated by Napoleon and made official in 1950, this day honoring mothers dates back to Ancient Greece and is found in several countries.

In France, the tradition calls for a variety of honors for mother. She might receive a gift from her children, or the children might let mom (or mère) relax, and, as all things in France, it usually culminates in a large dinner in mom's honor. These dinners are usually a major family affair.

How did helicopters change from the olden days to the new days?

The first human lifting helicopters were multi rotor craft where two rotors generating lift cancelled out each other's torque.

The earliest man carrying helicopters were flown by Frenchmen Jaques and Lois Breguet and also Paul Cornu. The Breguet craft flew tethered but Cornu's craft lifted off untethered in 1907.

The first military helicopter, the Austro-Hungarian PKZ-2 had contra-rotating blades and flew in 1918, demonstrated in front of military officials and specifically intended as an combat observation platform. Other craft were developed through the 1920s and achieved long flights of many kilometers but the first highly practical Helicopter was the German FockeWulf FW61. It had two main rotors like a Chinook, but mounted side by side rather than fore and aft. It was developed into the Combat Fa223 which was used in WW2 for rescues, Vehicle lifting and crashed aircraft recovery.

The countermeshing Flettner 282 was used for naval reconnaissance and submarine spotting and was used for artillery spotting on the Eastern Front. The flettner 282, the world's first production helicopter still holds the record of most mass lifted per engine horsepower. No helicopter since has surpassed it in efficiency or ease of handling.

Modern Helicopters based on Igor Sikorsky's single main rotor designs are more difficult to fly than the inherently balanced Flettner design that was perfected earlier and flew first. The design that Sikorsky popularised is less efficient as it uses a tail rotor and consumes around 20% of the engine power just to try to stop the craft spinning out of control. Most helicopter fatalities result from failures of this inefficient system. Being the main allied helicopter design of ww2, despite it's inferior capabilities, the aggressive Sikorsky and Bell companies solved most of their control difficulties and large military contracts helped to dominate the last 40 years of helicopter development. Attempts to modernise the helicopter focus on a return to the earlier more efficient system of having two counter-rotating main rotors
