The helicopter is chosen for the task: passenger flight, sanitary transportation, cargo work or training. The number of engines and seats is just the beginning of the comparison. There are historical reviews in the collection. Their market prices and costs relate to the period of research; for operation, you need documents of a particular board and the calculation of the real route. ## Related articles [01**Corporate helicopters: matching cabin comfort to the mission**How are the cabin dimensions, route and capabilities of a corporate helicopter related?
