Unlike airplanes that need to speed up on a runway to get enough lift, helicopters can take off straight up because of their big spinning blades. Those blades act like rotating wings, generating lift by pushing air downwards as they spin fast. This lets helicopters hover, go straight up or down, and even fly sideways. It’s pretty cool because they don’t rely on forward motion like planes they create lift just by spinning in place.
See lessHelicopters have rotating blades and there are ones above and by the rear. The propulsion power is very strong and as such it's very easy to just lift up not to forget the fact that the helicopter has less weight compared to the aeroplane that is large and carries a lot of weight These and many otheRead more

See lessThese and many other facturs make it easy for the helicopter to just start off without necessarily gaining momentum by running in a runway
