 * Gives an accurate representation of what it's like to be in a helicopter.
 * Gives a wider view of the World State and the other buildings it's composed of.
 * Demonstrates how well hypnodaeia works.
 * Explains further what the other castes do.

 * Why?**

 * To demonstrate how conditioning affects everything people say, think, and do.
 * To differentiate between the castes.
 * To make the reader take pity on the lower castes.


 * How?**

 * Devotes five paragraphs solely to the description of the flying helicopter.
 * Lists all the buildings they are flying over.
 * Makes one of the only comments Lenina says about how she does not like the color another caste has to wear. She must be well conditioned to feel that way.
 * Describes what Lenina and Henry see from their view which happens to be the other castes working.
