Greek roots:
helicopter = helico (spiral) + pter (wing)
tetrelix = tetr(a) (four) + (h)elix
tetrapter = tetra + pter
tetrelipter = tetr(a) + (h)eli(x) + pter
tetrelicopter = tetr(a) + (h)elico + pter
tetrahelicopter
Latin borrowed helix from Greek, so quad would not be wrong:
quadelix = quad (four) + (h)elix
not quadcopter.
