The first prototype of the 'wings' were actually wing-like (As seen in the intro of Abe's Exoddus) not helicopter blades. Why this was changed was the old wings had many problems. Such as, the flying slig in the beginning of Exoddus had the older wings. He claims, "Something smells." before flying off, a few seconds later there is a explosion. The smell was the lubricant in the wings failing, the wings stopped moving, and the slig crashed and exploded.

We all know the Oddworld Wiki is a cesspool of erroneous supposition and poor syntax, but I was generally curious whether there is any validity to this statement at all, perhaps in the Art book, or if the author was simply slipping his (or her) headcanon into the page. It just sounds so outrageous that it could possibly be true.
