The potted history of the most versatile aircraft ever invented. The Helicopter

Short run or landing, Gyro copters need a run up and short landing. The helicopter was capable of vertical take off and landing from unprapared stips and fields.

They don't need great expanses of land like airfields. They can multitask - transport cargo (some underslung), can be armed with machine guns and mix of these, carry troops. They can eve transport passengers in comfort to sports events or even on and off yachts. Its not just the Navy that have helicopters on their ships.
