This is where you will find our master list of helicopter manufacturers and models. The vast majority of helicopters listed are newer as these are the ones you'll find in the model trade. However, as time goes on, we'll profile as many helicopters as we can get information on. Pictures of the older helicopters may be scarce, but we'll do the best we can- don't forget you can contribute too!

You won't find any gyro type vehicles here. I don't consider them helicopters as most often their "rotors" aren't directly powered, but instead operate in a constant state of auto-rotation. There also aren't any tilt rotor craft here either. While they may fly like a helicopter for vertical takeoff/landing, they aren't traditional 'helicopters'.

Note too that some manufacturers have combined forces or done joint ventures. One of the bigger ones is Boeing. Boeing absorbed McDonnell Douglas so you'll see some helicopters listed both ways in other sources. We've tried to list them with their original designer, not necessarily the current owner/manufacturer. Other situations where there are partnerships like Westland (now AgustaWestland) and McDonnell Douglas further muddy the waters- Westland actually manufactures a version of the Apache, but didn't design it - it does has different designations but is basically the same, so it won't be listed under Westland, only under McDonnell Douglas.
Bell and Agusta also have a partnership- BellAgusta. Some models will be listed under BellAgusta as they are totally joint ventures like the AB139.

Remember too that you can help us by sending in info and images on anything listed or anything we've missed!
