Helicopter
A helicopter is a heavier‐than‐air aircraft that is supported in flight primarily by the reactions of the air on one or more power‐driven rotors on substantially vertical axes.

The average modern flight manual is broken down into a standard set of sections.
Helicopter - 14 CFR 1.1
Helicopter means a rotorcraft that, for its horizontal motion, depends principally on its engine-driven rotors.

Rotary Wing Terminology ...
Helicopters depend on rotors for lift, and although rotors are airfoils, they act differently than airplane wings in several important ways. These differences account for several of the major problems early designers had.
Helicopter designers are forever trying to fit more equipment into the cockpit of a helicopter to satisfy market demands. At the same time, they are trying to minimise the weight of the aircraft so that it can carry and lift more.

Pick up the helicopter and look for any physical obstructions that may have gotten caught in the main and tail rotors.
Still, helicopters operate to very different parameters than fixed-wing airplanes. The overhead rotor serves as the equivalent of a wing, and maintaining rotor speed is critical. Losing rotor speed is somewhat analogous to stalling an aircraft wing.
Helicopter
An aircraft that can rise or descend vertically, by means of large overhead power-driven rotor or rotors.

HELICOPTER - A wingless aircraft acquiring its lift from revolving blades driven by an engine about a near-vertical axis.
Helicopters. Aircraft deriving their lift from one or more mechanically driven rotors.
A helicopter engine works in exactly the same way as an airplane engine. The big difference is what happens to the engine's power output.

5Interestingly, it goes to zero again when the axis is perpendicular to the direction of flight, as in a helicopter.
One of his first experiments as a young man was to build a small helicopter model. This toy was rooted deep in European history. The earliest ancestors of the device date to the 14th century.
If lift did not require power airplanes would have the same range full as they do empty, and helicopters could hover at any altitude and load. Best of all, propellers (which are rotating wings) would not require power to produce thrust.

tiltrotor - A rotor that is tilted from a horizontal alignment (as a helicopter) for takeoff and landing, to a vertical alignment (as an airplane) for level flight.
LTE: Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness in helicopters. A low speed aerodynamic characteristic that can result in an uncommanded rapid yaw rate that does not subside of its own accord. Also known as 'unanticipated yaw' or 'loss of tail rotor authority'.
He made hundreds of drawings of propellers, helicopters and parachutes. In 1487 da Vinci designed his first flying machine. At first his designs were based on the way bird's flew.
