They can do three things that airplanes cannot do. First, when airplanes move upward, they must also move forward, but helicopters can move straight up without moving ahead. Second, helicopters can fly backward, which airplanes cannot do. Third, helicopters can use their rotors to stay in one place in the sky which is impossible for planes.Because helicopters can perform actions that airplanes cannot, they are used for different tasks. Since helicopters can take off without moving forward, they do not need a runway for takeoff. They are used in crowded areas where there is no room for airplanes or in isolated areas which don't have airports. Because they can hover, they are used on firefighting missions to drop water on fires. They are used in logging operations to lift trees out of forests. Helicopters are used as air ambulances to airlift patients out of situations which are difficult to reach by normal ambulances. The police use helicopters to follow suspects on the ground or they can use them to search for cars. Of course, helicopters have military uses because of their design and capabilities.
