للهليكوبتر إسم مختلف في كل دولة عربية: إما مروحية أو عمودية أو طوافة أو سمتية أو حوامة أو هليكوبتر أو هيلوبلستر.

وفي كل الأحوال، ما معنى سمتية؟ هل هي من السمت بمعنى الأوج في الفلك zenithal ، azimuth ، أم يقصد بالسمتي بمعنى الأنالوغ analog أو symmetrical .. المهم ليست كل سمتية هليكوبتر وليست كل هليكوبتر سمتية
