Helicopters have made themselves indispensable due to their mode of operation. They can take off and land from a helipad and can approach and carry out jobs in extremely restricted spaces. They are useful in commercial, private, medical sector and the armed forces. Their multiple role capability has rendered them a place in aviation which is unlikely to be either underestimated or replaced by other flying machines.

Helicopter can to things that (most) fixed wing aircraft cannot do, like hoover, vertical land & take off. They are very important in life saving like with the coast guard & life-star. Plus thier role in the military is vital.

Airplanes cannot hover, fly backwards or sidewards. Airplanes cannot pluck stranded people off of a sinking boat. airplanes cannot at low air speeds needed for police surveillance. That is just a small list of why we need Helicopters.

Helicopters are extremely useful machines as they can land and take off on nearly all terrain and also used a lot for rescue services, police and goods transport.

Airplanes require several hundred feet of level and obstacle free ground to take off and land... helicopters need about a 15 ft. square... therefore, they are more versatile and they can hover, you defiantly cant do that in an airplane...

vertical takeoff and landing
virtually no plane would be able to perform mountain rescue, crash recoveries, flood personal recovery, and plenty other missions related with life saving.

Because it's better than what's in second place.
Anybody else tired of answering stupid questions?

because it can hover anywhere and can just stay in the mid air.

It's called a BRAIN. B-R-A-I-N. Use it. It's easy. Only it's too hard for you.
