Best Answer

Some Helicopters have Oelo type struts. Sikorsky CH-53's and blackhawks, Boeing CH-47 Chinook and CH-46 Phrogs. Struts usually refer to a part of the landing gear and it purpose is to act like your shock absorber on your car to dampen out rough terrain while taxiing or during take off and landing (even thought all helicopters can take off and land vertically the heavier models that can carry more weight will try to use running takeoffs or landings for safety
