Is it true that helicopters from the northern hemisphere can't travel to the southern hemisphere and vice versa?
Like an American helicopter can't go to Australia, it must be shipped there and reconfigured first or the blades will spin in the opposite direction and cause the aircraft to lose control and crash.
Can anyone confirm?
Thanks in advance.

Not true at all, sorry.
The earth's rotation has an extreemly subtle effect on fluid mechanics, even less so for compressible, less dense fluids like air.

I think you mean the "Cornelius effect". Like how the braids of Cornelius become more twirly, causing the helicopter's blades to become more twirly too.
