  Yes, but then it wouldn’t be flying “to the right” as it says.

    If the helicopter is suspended in the air, it’s flying. To the right is simply a frame of reference, if I’m driving to the left then it appears as though the helicopter is going to the right, so the speed can be 0.

      Now this is the kind of technically right I can get behind.

  Yes, but not one where we would typically consider something to be ‘moving’.
