The invention relates to a dual-rotor coaxial helicopter with wing-shaped rotors, and the helicopter belongs to B64C 27 / 04. helicopters according to international patent technology classification. The general layout adopts a mashup design of a dual-rotor coaxial helicopter and a fixed wing aircraft with preposed canard wings. An elevator is preposed, and horizontal wings and ailerons for lateral control are disposed at the rear. A control surface that is responsible for yaw control is positioned behind ducted propellers that are disposed at the rear and used for providing thrust. Fans are arranged below the fuselage on the left and the right so as to retreat or horizontally and slightly adjust the fuselage hovering position or make the fuselage revolve. Due to the wing shape change, when an engine encounters in-flight shut-down, the helicopter continuously suffers height loss, so that air and the rotors interact to convert the potential energy of the helicopter into kinetic energy, which makes the rotors continue to rotate according to the rotation direction of the engine during working hours. Consequently, a lifting force can be generated, and fall can be changed to a safe landing. The helicopter provided in the invention can solve or improve the problems of small speed, short flying range, low flight height, great vibration and noise, poor reliability, high cost and use fee in helicopters in active service.

A method for burnishing a slider in a disk drive in which the disk is rotated in the opposite or reverse direction from that used to develop the air-bearing and to read and write data is described. Rotating the disk in the reverse direction results in no air-bearing being formed and the slider being in contact with the disk surface. The burnishing removes material over the magnetic transducers in the slider which separate the transducers from the disk resulting in greater sensitivity. Optionally the stopping point for burnishing can be determined by monitoring measurable parameters such as the change in the MR resistance (MRR), i.e., ΔMRR / MRR until a selected range is achieved. The invention can be used to remove an overcoat from the air-bearing surface of the slider, remove protruding areas from the slider and to remove debris from the disk surface.

The proportion of {100} crystal faces, the polish rate of which is relatively high during crystal machining, and / or the proportion of {111} crystal faces, the polish rate of which is relatively low during crystal machining, to the total area (S0) of a substrate surface, is set to fall within an appropriate range. Specifically, the proportion of the total area (S{100}) of the {100} crystal faces among crystal faces of individual crystal grains which appear on a major surface of a polycrystalline silicon substrate to the total area (S0) of the substrate surface, is set not less than 10% and less than 50%. Such crystal face selection makes it possible to reduce the scale of “steps” formed due to the crystal face index dependence of polish rate, thereby to give a planar and smooth substrate surface.
