The status of helicopter development is presented. The evolution in Germany since 1936 is reviewed. The life cycle cost principle is explained and the means of cost reduction are presented. The technical possibilities and limits of helicopters are treated with a view to increasing their share of the market. The development trends (fuel saving, carbon fiber reinforced plastics) are described.
