	The two most common engine types for helicopters are piston (or reciprocating) and turbine. Piston engines are generally used in smaller helicopters due to their lower cost of operation, while turbine engines are typically used in larger helicopters. Turbine engines produce much more power than a piston engine of the same weight, but are much more expensive to operate.
