Helicopters play a major role in our lives, and thanks to modern technology and advancements, they continue to become more essential than ever. Used for both military and civilian purposes, helicopters feature a wide range of capabilities and fulfill a variety of needed roles.
At Cutting Dynamics, we are experts in both the commercial and defense industries, offering solutions for your company’s aviation needs. In this post, we’ll examine the differences and similarities between civilian helicopters and military helicopters.
Known for their performance and ability to fly impressive heights, civilian helicopters are useful for transportation to otherwise inaccessible areas. Some common uses of these helicopters include:
One of the U.S Army’s aircraft, the Black Hawk helicopter, has a variation that supports civilian use. This civilian version is called the “Firehawk,” or Sikorsky S-70 helicopter.
These multi-purpose Black Hawk helicopters were originally designed with military use in mind, but with the certification they received they are now available to the U.S commercial and civilian market. This civilian Black Hawk helicopter has a main operation focus on firefighting.
When comparing civilian and military helicopters, two of the biggest differences are the size and functionality. Military helicopters tend to be larger in size and are much more advanced.
Military helicopters are essential in a variety of applications, playing a vital role in air, land, and sea operations. They are used for everything from equipment transportation to medical search and rescue, troop transport, and more. Armed with lethal weapons, they provide offensive and defensive capabilities in diverse situations.
Similar to their civilian counterparts, these helicopters also provide versatility when it comes to what they can accomplish. Some of their roles include:
One type of military helicopter that is commonly used is called the Bell AH-1Z Viper, and is often deployed for air-to-air combat. With its strong armor, it is used extensively for offensive combat, escorting other aircraft, or reconnaissance.
Considering it is a military helicopter, the uses for the Viper vary. It is very versatile, offering a lot of military potential.
