How the helicopter has impacted society What would have happened if the helicopter had not been invented?

Answer 1

Helicopter has impacted society in many ways (depending on the uses) because of its special hability that airplanes does not have, which is vertical take off, and landing: * Transportation: They make transportation (passengers and cargo mostly) easier, faster, and somehow safetier than some other kinds. This is primarely the reason #1 why they have impacted our society. * Media: The press use helicopters for particular purposes, mainly to take a look at the freeway congestions. * SecurityHaving a helicopter in the sky means a great advantage because you can cover much more sighting than being just on land. So the police uses Helicopters to follow suspects. In that way it would be much harder for them to scape. * Rescue/ Evacuation Sometimes an ambulance just can't get on time where it needs to be. A helicopter on the other hand, gets faster wherever you need it because it doesn't has to deal with the obstacules a car would face (like walls, rivers, forests, etc...), and where airplanes would crash easily. So having a helicopter as an ambulance, it could save a live that other wise would be lost with another kind of transportation. When a person gets lost in the wild (mountains, oceans,etc), a helicopter is generally the best way to star the research. Sometimes when a disaster happens (floods mainly), the only way to get into the place it's by helicopter. * Fire countrol As a firefighter, you need two things to extinguish a fire: time and water (well you can use other things). But sometimes those two are tighltly limited with fire trucks. Helicopters can make it all the way faster and carring much more water than a fire truck could. So it represents a great advantage for firefighters. * Federal Forces Techniques/ Strategies The Army/Navy could use helicopters for a bunch of different things. For example: They could armed a helicopter with anti-artillery equipment, and destroy enemy foreces, thus, clearing the area (or help to) to allow allied forces come by. Or they could use helicopters for extraction operations. And many others, too. * Others: * Movie film * personal transportation * specialized business: tours and related sutff * aerial cranes * just for fun. * And surely much more.

like these examples mentioned above, helicopters had impacted people's lives dramatically, forever. for more detailed information you can visit wikipedia: helicopters
