Impulse is force x time where the assumption is that the force is high and the time is short. Since force is rate of change of momentum of a free body, then impulse amounts to a sudden change of its momentum.

In terms of impulse and momentum why is it important that helicopter blades deflect air downward?
The blades impart a downward impulse to the air and produce a downward change in the momentum of the air. The air at the same time exerts an upward impulse on the blades, providing lift. (Newton's third law applies to impulses as well as forces.)
Is impulse a vector quantity?
Two reasons. Recall impulse is the change in momentum. First the momentum is a vector. So imagine a triangle. One side is the initial momentum (with one direction), the second side is the final momentum (with a potentially different direction) and the third side is the impulse (or change in momentum). The other way to look at this is in terms of what causes the change in momentum. This is how impulse is generally described. The impulse can be defined as the average force acting on the particle multiplied by the time interval over which the force acts. This is sometimes represented as the integral of the force. As force is a vector so is the impulse caused by this force.

What is an impluse?
Impulse is defined as a force multiplied by the amount of time it acts over. In calculus terms, the impulse can be calculated as the integral of force with respect to time. Alternately, impulse can be calculated as the difference in momentum between two given instances. The SI units of impulse are N*s or kg*m/s.
