Configuration types include those that use rotor for lift and propulsion in cruising flight, those that fly as airplane using wing lift and separate propulsion in cruising flight, and combination configurations; hovering considerations; STOL performance, and powerplant reliability; helicopter best for VTOL missions of short range; where mission is one of transportation and VTOL is required, adherence to design rules for good cruise performance must be followed.
