You are talking about Maple trees no doubt.
The "Helicopter thingies" you are refering to are actually called Samaras.
They help the tree to spread it's seeds by the wind.
There are a couple other kind of trees that produce Samara as well.
Elm trees and Ash trees also produce Samaras.

Maples do that.
My folks lived in the country and they had four gigantic maples that I had to help in the fall when it was time to rake leaves. But I remember those little helicoptor things too. Seems like they were in the spring. The squirrels would go back and forth under those trees for hours getting the seeds out of the "helicoptors".
I know it was maples because they got maple syrup from them in the fall and in the summer the shade from those trees was the coolest spot for miles around.
