Qual é o nome deste treinador de helicóptero vintage?

Estou curioso sobre os minúsculos helicópteros de treinamento que podem ser vistos a partir da segunda 0:10 deste vídeo vintage sobre a escola de helicóptero Cuatro Vientos, perto de Madri.

                             

Eles eram helicópteros "reais", capazes de voar?

Eles eram um modelo produzido em massa ou uma solução artesanal? Quem os fez?

É um Flintner Bo102 Helitrainer. Foram 18 desses produzidos que foram utilizados por seis países.

Ele também é conhecido como o Bölkow Bo 102 (Wikipedia).

De Aviastar.org :

Rolled out in 1959, this Helicopter Trainer was powered by a 40hp ILO piston engine and had a twenty-one foot counterbalanced fibreglass rotor blade. In all eighteen of these HeliTrainers were built operating throughout Europe, training military helicopter pilots. Although unable to fly, they were ideal for the teaching of hovering techniques and were replaced by dual trainer helicopters.

The Bo-102 Helitrainer, powered by a 40hp Hirth engine driving a simple one-bladed rotor with a counterweight, was developed in land and water based versions, both of which were semi-captive. This feature allowed the helicopter to rise to a height of 0.6m, turn around a vertical axis and dip at up to 6� but prevented it from flying outside these limits.
