Helicopters have a unique advantage over fixed-wing aircraft in that they can take off, land and hover vertically. This allows helicopters to operate in narrow areas and areas where complex vehicles, aircraft and other machinery cannot reach.
So?
It depends on the model. Many helicopters are single-person and can only seat one person, or two.
Transport helicopters like the Black Hawk can carry a dozen fully loaded, large helicopters like the CH-47 Chinook can carry dozens, and the Russian Mi-26 can carry hundreds of troops.
In addition, environmental factors also limit the amount of helicopters that can be carried.
For example, under high altitude conditions, the carrying capacity of helicopters has been greatly reduced. During the Wenchuan earthquake, the M 171 helicopters equipped by China could not be fully loaded due to safety considerations, so a certain amount of allowance must be left.
That has slowed capacity and delayed relief efforts.
Pass the exam, fly your own plane, soar in the sky?
This “dream” may no longer be far away. Like driving a car, flying freely in a private helicopter is already within reach.
In fact, as long as you are 17 years old or older and fit enough, you can also learn to fly.
