Today were are going to be talking about what is better planes or helicopters. Planes are better as they can travel long distances without stopping for fuel and can travel very fast in the air. Helicopters are better for getting into tight spaces as they don't need a runway to take off where airplanes need a long runway. You can go higher altitudes with planes compared to helicopters. There is one type of plane that would make me think planes are better and it is the harrier jet. The harrier jet can take off and land vertical like a helicopter and can go very fast speeds like a plane so it is the ultimate mix of plane and helicopter. Harrier jets are made in American and the original design was from the Bristol engine company
