Helicopter

An MH-60 Black Hawk, as seen in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon

A helicopter is a type of aircraft in which lift and thrust are provided by horizontally spinning rotors. In the Ace Combat franchise helicopters usually act as non-playable targets, except for Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, where they are playable in select missions. They are notable for their ability to take off and land without requiring a runway, commonly appearing as parts of defensive installations. They are also oftentimes equipped with air-to-ground weaponry (such as Rocket Launchers or guided missiles) and used as close air support.
