Why are Airplane Spins called that when they actually resemble helicopter blades rotating??

lol
I wonder if the the helicopter had even been invented when that move was first named. It is a VERY old maneuver, one that I would not be surprised to learn originated in the actual carnival sideshows back when catch was king and they needed "spectacle" to rile people up for the actual competition.

Makes perfect sense though for my Doofus 1900s French aviator edit Parachute Rousseau. I would not trust him at all to fly a plane in a straight line.

Good question!
After thinking about it, when I ponder the airplane spin, images of people in VERY high-waisted, muted colour trunks complete with the doughy Charles Atlas dad build, fully carpeted back and chest, with names like Mad Dog McCullough, Big Daddy Cavanaugh, or Axe Parker come to mind.
I can already see the arena, only the ring under a spotlight, a bunch of chain smoking dudes in grey or tan trench coats and fedoras and ladies with their hair all done up wearing skirts and gloves, holding onto their patent leather purses, some jack ass selling little bags of raw peanuts and packs of cigarettes, wearing one of those paper hats. The tuxedo clad announcer steps into the ring as one of those gigantic, twenty pound mics descends from the ceiling...
interesting.
