Military helicopters

In their military roles helicopters are used to ferry troops and supplies, and for search and rescue missions. They can also be used as lethally armed 'gunships' that are fully equipped to attack armour, troops and built-up enemy positions. In their naval version helicopters hunt for submarines and act as mini-airborne warning and control systems, using ships decks as their bases. Unlike fighter aeroplanes, helicopters can operate from ships that are much smaller than aircraft carriers.

Lately, with some versions of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) adopting rotary wings, it is evident that as a form of aircraft helicopters are still continuing to evolve.
