Helicopter

I just realised "return" could fit in your second example in a specific context. There's a helicopter in a few minutes and the flight will take just five minutes. And there's a return flight in an hour.

 

Sir and madam. Would someone tell me what is the different between them? Here is an example It was not long before a helicopter arrived 'on/at' the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash. My sentence is quote from 'New Concept English - Book 2' by WONG Nam and published by Longman in...

 

Considering the job is with Hydro-Quebec if you're doing repairs or technical work it could involve travel to very remote parts of Québec by means other than truck -- for example by helicopter snowmobile etc.

 

Hello everybody I'm new to this forum. My question is : is it correct to say "to go with the plane" or "to go on the plane" instead of saying "to go by plane"? Thanks a lot.

 

Helicopter (and there are still a few airships in the US). I agree that "by plane" sounds wrong but I'm not sure your reason is the reason. I guess one could ask a pilot: Have you ever flown a helicopter?

 

I don?t ride in helicopters often but I think I would say ?get in a helicopter.? Perhaps this is because a helicopter functions more as a private vehicle (like a taxi) rather than a public vehicle (like an airplane or train). I think along that same vein that ?get out of? would be correct though they both sound ok to me.

 

One does not drive helicopters. One flies or pilots aircraft including helicopters which can include hovering. Even on the ground for helicopters with wheels the verb would be "taxi." On the other hand one might find the term "helicopter drivers" used humorously and intentionally incorrectly but that's a special case.

 

Hello everybody I'd like to know what preposition native speakers feel is more natural in the context of helicopters. I found in COCA entries for both get in and get on the helicopter. However get on has more entries than get in. Please help me with that and if you dont mind let me know...

 

Hello everybody ! I already know that "helicopter" is stressed on "he-" but I need to know whether this word obeys a certain phonetic rule or not because I really don't manage to find it out. It is for a lesson at university. Thank you so much.

 

Personally I wouldn't call a Helicopter a Helo unless I thought I was in a Hollywood film or in the military so I would recommend sticking with "helicopter".
