Black Hawk has a wide transport compartment.

The Black Hawk is a revolutionary aircraft with a wide transport compartment that can perform many tasks such as reconnaissance, command, control and support. It can also carry 11 soldiers armed to the battlefield and capable of carrying a large number of missiles, rocket bullets, artillery and electronic equipment. Besides protective iron cover, Blackhawk has many other safety features.

With the nickname "Crocodile", MI-24 Hind is a symbol of the Soviet army during the Cold War. Introduced to the Soviet army from the 1970s, the Hind was considered a breakthrough in the traditional design of helicopters at the time. As an armed helicopter, there is a space for soldiers, Hin combines two very different functions of military helicopters.

Chinook can carry a platoon in one flight.

The highlight of the Chinook design lies in two sets of rotor blades with a total length of 60 feet. This allows no additional vertical propeller to be arranged on the tail of the aircraft, and the entire propeller force will only be used for takeoff and flight. First deployed in 1965 on the Vietnam battlefield, within two years, Chinook had 161,000 flight hours, transporting millions of soldiers and transporting more than 1.3 million tons of equipment. During a flight, it can transport a platoon to the battlefield center. With two double hooks below, Chinook is also dubbed the "king of hoisting goods".

Like the first generation American helicopter helicopters, Bell 47 Sioux was named after an Indian tribe. The unique feature of this helicopter lies in the transparent cockpit dome design along with the tail of the aircraft like a crane and fuel tank located right at the intersection of the cockpit and the tail. With only two propellers, while in operation, Bell 47 Sioux's rotor makes a sound that sounds like a 'spire'.
