70% to pass

The only type of helicopter that may be refueled with the engine running and the blades turning is _______________.

A a Sikorsky
B a helicopter carrying injured personnel in an emergency situation
C a turbine-equipped helicopter
D a helicopter carrying cargo only
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) a turbine-equipped helicopter. The reason this is the correct answer is that turbine-equipped helicopters are the only type that can be refueled with the engine running and the blades turning. This is due to the design and safety features of turbine engines, which allow for this practice to be carried out safely. Other helicopter types, such as piston-powered models, do not have the same safeguards and therefore cannot be refueled in this manner. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) Sikorsky is a manufacturer, not a specific helicopter type; B) emergency situations do not determine the helicopter type; and D) the cargo carried does not affect the refueling requirements.
