The helicopter is a type of aircraft that obtains lift and propulsion from one or more powered rotors, which are propellers that rotate in a horizontal plane. The helicopter is capable of remaining motionless in hovering flight because the powered rotors produce lift even at zero forward speed. Horizontal flight is achieved by tilting the rotor forward with respect to the flight path to produce a propulsive force in that direction. Helicopters are not capable of rapid or high altitude flight, but can take off and land almost anywhere. Troopers love friendly helicopters and take extreme measures to shoot down enemy aircraft, for an enemy capable of appearing out of nowhere and hovering overhead is not good for one's health.
