The lifting capacity of a helicopter varies depending on the density of the air, however- a Chinook cannot lift an Abrams under ANY circumstances. The load capacity of a Chinook is around 11,5 tons. The M1A1 weighs 63 tons. Fail.
Where can helicopters land and takeoff?
Helicopters can land anywhere there is clearance for their rotors. I have seen them land in jungle clearings, on top of flat buildings, on small ships and in canyons. However, they may be restricted or forbidden in some of these areas.

What are the motions existing helicopter?
The motions of an existing helicopter include vertical flight (upward and downward movement), forward and backward flight (pitch), lateral movement (yaw), and rotational movement (roll). The main rotor blades generate lift, allowing the helicopter to ascend or descend, while the tail rotor helps control yaw and stabilize the helicopter. By adjusting the angle of the rotor blades, pilots can maneuver the helicopter in various directions, enabling complex flight patterns. Overall, these motions allow for versatile navigation in diverse environments.
