AI overview
A helicopter is a type of aircraft with horizontally spinning rotors that generate the lift and thrust needed for flight, allowing it to take off and land vertically, hover in place, and fly in any direction. Because of these unique capabilities, helicopters can operate in congested areas and situations where traditional aircraft cannot, making them valuable for various specialized purposes.
