transport helicopter
Heavy-lift rotorcraft
A transport helicopter is a rotorcraft designed primarily to carry troops, cargo, or equipment rather than for combat.
Military transport helicopters move soldiers into and out of battle zones, deliver supplies, and evacuate wounded: Transport helicopters ferried reinforcements to the front lines.
Civilian versions serve similar purposes for oil rigs, remote construction sites, and disaster relief.
