Helicopters, including axial-rotor, tiltrotor, and compound types, are versatile rotorcraft capable of vertical takeoff and landing, hovering, and lateral flight. Quadcopters and other multicopters have gained popularity for specialized applications such as drones for aerial photography and racing, as well as military uses. Their unique capabilities make helicopters suitable for operations in areas where traditional aircraft cannot operate.

axial-rotor, tiltrotor and compound helicopters are also all flying today.

Four-
rotor helicopters (quadcopters) were pioneered as early as 1907 in France, and
along with other types of multicopters, have been developed mainly for specialized
applications such as commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) due to the rapid
expansion of drone racing and aerial photography markets in the early 21st century,
as well as recently weaponized utilities such as artillery spotting, aerial bombing
and suicide in the end attacks.

A helicopter is a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by

horizontally spinning rotors. This allows the helicopter to take off and land
vertically, to hover, and to fly forward, backward and laterally. These attributes
allow helicopters to be used in congested or isolated areas where fixed-wing
aircraft and many forms of short take-off and landing (STOL) or short take-off and
vertical landing (STOVL) aircraft cannot perform without a runway.
