Add to SetSummary
More than 30 years passed between the invention of the airplane and the advent of a practical helicopter. Once it was perfected, though, the helicopter was adopted quickly. Its vertical takeoff and motionless hover abilities lent it to a wide range of applications including traffic control, search and rescue efforts, emergency medical transport, and military operations.
