The helicopter, a man-made flying machine, finally realizes man's dream of a machine capable of hovered, slow, upward and even backward flight. In many ways it exceeds the soaring and darting of birds in maneuverability. Virtually unknown to the public until after World War II, the helicopter is now a commonplace, fully accepted, aviation necessity throughout the world.

Helicopters are so versatile and have such potential utility that any attempted list of their uses would become outdated by the time it could be published. Briefly, it may be noted that these machines are employed not only for common carriage of passengers and cargo, but also for many industrial, commercial, financial, agricultural, rescue, investigative and law enforcement purposes.

Familiar general principles of negligence and many specific rules of aviation law are applicable to helicopter accident litigation, but such litigation likewise presents some highly individualistic problems as to aerodynamics, engineering, flight characteristics, other specialization, and also as to duties and liabilities arising from asserted noncompliance with Federal Aviation Administration regulations.
