Dwarven [[tinker]]s improved on this technology after the [[Second War]], first by creating [[dwarven gyrocopter]]s and then later the upgraded [[dwarven flying machine]]s. The gnomes themselves have upgraded to the static winged [[gnomish biplane]]. |

Gnomish flying machine
Gnomish flying machine in art.
The gnomish flying machine (aka gnomish helicopterTemplate:Cite Template:Cite or gnomish copterTemplate:Cite) was designed by the gnomes of Khaz Modan to compensate for their lack of physical strength with ingenuity and daring. Although these awkward contraptions' armor and armament are too light for then to serve as weapons of mass destruction, flying machines can be used to survey vast areas of terrain, making them invaluable for discovering the movements of the Horde.Template:Cite

This particular model of gnomish flying machine apparently was based on the earlier gnomish whirligigs and sky-engines.[1]
Dwarven tinkers improved on this technology after the Second War, first by creating dwarven gyrocopters and then later the upgraded dwarven flying machines. The gnomes themselves have upgraded to the static winged gnomish biplane.
