Commercial helicopters refer to aircraft that are powered by one or multiple horizontal propellers or rotors. These rotors provide thrust, thereby resulting in effective take-off and vertical landing. The vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) provided by the rotors make it easier for the helicopter to travel in any direction and hover in a specific location for an extended period. Designed to perform complex maneuvers in the air, these rotorcrafts can fly in congested or isolated places where fixed-wing and other available aircraft cannot fulfill the mission requirements. There is a wide range of commercial helicopter models, including large, passenger-carrying helicopters that are used for carrying heavy loads to remote locations, and small, private two-person helicopters that are used for travel and mission purposes. Commercial helicopters find numerous applications in travel, advertising and disaster relief campaigns.
Commercial Helicopter Market Trends:
The market is primarily driven by the rapid utilization of helicopters in public safety, law enforcement, training, tourism, search and rescue (SAR), emergency medical services (EMS), and firefighting. This can be attributed to the flourishing gas and oil exploration activities across the globe. In line with this, an increased preference for luxury and enhanced comfort among individuals has resulted in the escalating demand for luxurious custom helicopters, which is further propelling the market growth. The development of low-noise and environmentally friendly helicopter systems focusing on sustainable development are also providing an impetus to the market. Besides this, the expanding options for helicopter leasing and purchasing are creating a positive outlook for the market. Other factors, such as reduced accident rates, improved travel session efficacy, rapid urbanization, inflating disposable income levels and extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by key players, are further contributing to the market.
