Rotary-wing and tiltrotor aircraft used for attack, transport and utility missions, from the UH-1 Iroquois that defined the Vietnam War to the AH-64 Apache and the V-22 Osprey. A weapon belongs here when its cited article describes it as a helicopter, gunship or tiltrotor. It excludes fixed-wing aircraft. These aircraft can hover, land in small clearings and carry troops, cargo or missiles, and they became central to Vietnam, Afghan and Gulf operations as gunships, transports and medical evacuation aircraft.
