Answer: a rescue helicopter measures 17.8 m (length / span), which is 1.4× as big as the reference, a Tyrannosaurus rex at 12.3 m.
Most of the length is tail boom — the cabin itself is barely longer than a van.
Common miss: players tend to compress a rescue helicopter when it sits beside a Tyrannosaurus rex — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a cruising sailboat measures 10 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a Stegosaurus at 9 m.
A modest cruising yacht is commonly around ten metres long.
Common miss: players tend to compress a cruising sailboat when it sits beside a Stegosaurus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
