HelicopterRevival
Adds two fully animated helicopters to the game. Ideal for getting from A to B quickly, exploring the map, building islands and nuking biters from the sky. Originally forked from Kumpu with fixes for Factorio 0.18.2+, but adding some enhancements of my own as well. NOW also includes API for other mod authors to register their own helicopters!

Summary
Tired of walking or waiting for trains? This quality mod adds a helicopter to the game. Comes with custom animations and sounds, a machine gun, a rocket launcher, helipads and a remote control. The energy consumption is very high, high-energy fuel is recommended.
Adds a new research that you have to unlock before you can build it. Ideal for getting from A to B quickly, exploring the map, building islands and nuking biters from the sky.
