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."

死猫变身直升机

       据英国《镜报》报道，荷兰一名艺术家为了纪念自己死去的猫，决定把它做成一架可运转的迷你直升机。

       巴特·简森说，他的猫名为奥威尔，是为了纪念传奇航空家奥威尔·莱特（莱特兄弟之一）。

       这架“直-奥威尔”目前正在阿姆斯特丹的昆斯特莱艺术节上展览，简森说他的目的在于向他挚爱的猫表示敬意。

       猫已经被做成标本，它的四肢末端装有四个旋翼，能够产生起飞所需的足够动力。

       这名艺术家说，他的“半猫半机器”创作很快便可“与鸟类一起翱翔”。
