Helicopters


Due to the distinct shape of most helicopters, and unmistakable whirring sound of the rotor blades, helicopters are usually quite recognisable during daylight hours, even at a distance. Where as most aircraft constantly move across the sky, helicopters of course have the ability to hover stationary for as long as they wish, and also vertically ascend or descend in altitude.


Sound travels further after dark, so even when quite far away, the noise of the rotor blades should be heard. However if the wind is blowing away from your position, this could make it harder to hear or even appear silent. Like aeroplanes, helicopters have distinctive lighting configurations that generally include the colours white, red, blue and green.


At a distance, like aircraft, the lights on helicopters will often blur into one brightly glowing yellowish light. It is only when you get closer that the individual lights of the helicopter can be made out.
