Helicopters are "rotary wing" aircraft- their wings are the rotor blades. Instead of deriving lift from moving air over the fixed wings of an airplane, a helicopter derives lift by moving the wings through the air.
Airplanes can not fly straight up and down or hover.
A helicopter flies using a rotor and can hover whereas an aeroplane has wings and aeroplanes can generally hold a bigger amount of people.
the difference between an helicopter creating lift and an airplane creating lift is simple. an airplane creates lift by moving forward and its wing that has an aerofoil shaped will create lift. this gives the lift for the airplane and to fly. for helicopters, instead of the aerofoil is fix like an airplane, the aerofoil wing is rotating and create lift. that is why the helicopter does not need to move forward to gain momentum to create lift. by rotating the aerofoil (the blade) the helicopter can creates enough lift to lift up the helicopter.and that's how it fly..
The basic difference can be boiled down to this: The similarities between the two is that they both fly from air moving over the airfoils. On a plane this is also called the wing, on a helicopter it's called the rotor. Since the airplane is a 'fixed wing' aircraft, the plane must be moving forward in over to fly. On a helicopter the spinning rotor generates lift all the time.
There is no difference, "chopper" is slang for 'helicopter'
A helicopter has rotor blades and an airplane does not.

The spelling.
A helicopter uses Benoullis principle in the exact same way as an airplane does. A helicopter has a wing just like an airplane's wing. The major difference being that instead of pushing the wing forward through the air, a helicopter swings the wings around above its head.
there is no difference
no a helicopter is not a airplane because helicopter lifts but a plane takes off and a helicopters propeller is huger than a planes
