Features: Helicopters possess outstanding characteristics that cannot be compared to fixed-wing aircraft and other types of aviation vehicles. The main features are "vertical take-off and landing in the field," "ability to hover in the air," and "low-altitude flight." In addition, helicopters can fly forward, backward, left, and right, or in any direction. Military helicopters, with their high maneuverability and agility, are equipped with capabilities such as "low-speed targets," "ground targets," and occupying low flight altitudes like "treetop height." This unique functionality allows helicopters to perform highly challenging military tasks, such as aerial maneuvers, ground fire support, anti-tank operations, and naval anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare. This book introduces over 40 types of military helicopters from various countries, primarily armed helicopters, along with their design performance and structural characteristics, in concise language and with abundant visual materials. It is intended for readers and references interested in the development of military helicopters worldwide, especially for young aviation enthusiasts who are eager to read and collect such information.
