The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly.

There is no such thing as a gliding helicopter.

I sometimes still go out hunting for bad weather, flying low in simple airplanes to explore the inner reaches of the clouds.
