Airplane Helicopter
What would be betterlearning to fly a helicopter or airplane or both?
Should I learn to fly a helicopter or an airplane. I really want to learn both.
Which one should I start with if I were to learn both and if you have any websites please post for classes in milwakee- racine, Wisconsin area.
This question can get quite complicated because there are so many different career paths in aviation. Even if you knew your ultimate goal with absolute certainty, there are still many ways to reach that goal. Each possibility has advantages and disadvantages, and no one is better than another. Do a lot of homework first to determine which path is best for YOU.
Airplanes vs. Helicopters
Some people just want to fly helicopters, others just airplanes, and some have it as their goal to fly both. The most efficient path to reach your goals will depend on which of those categories you fall into.
With regard to flying both, your career will most likely favor one or the other, so you might consider taking demo lessons in each one, learning as much as possible from each flight school, and then choosing one. I personally feel that if you want to fly helicopters, then fly helicopters. If you want to fly airplanes, then fly airplanes.
Training in one is not dependent upon another. However, your experience in one type of aircraft will help you fulfill some requirements when training in another. So the second rating you get will have lower minimums than the first (but it doesn't mean you will finish in the minimums).
If you intend to fly both, starting in helicopters will be easier from a skill standpoint. That is, transitioning from helicopters to airplanes is easier than airplanes to helicopters. However, they really fly very differently from one another. From a knowledge standpoint, it does not matter which one you do first because regulations, weather, navigation, etc. will be taught by both and the second one will require less ground study than the first.
On Civilian Training Costs and Flying Both
People often make the argument that you should fly airplanes first to save money, even though your goal may be to just fly helicopters. They assume this to be true rather than actually tallying the costs to see if it holds true. They are basing this on the assumption that you will finish your helicopter add-ons in the minimum time. This is unlikely. Also, they often forget that a commercial helicopter license only requires 150, not the 250 hours required in airplanes. In my opinion, if you really want to fly helicopters, then start with helicopters.
If you choose to fly helicopters, then fly helicopters. If you choose to fly airplanes, then fly airplanes. If you choose to fly both, make sure you really want both. All three paths are valid, but pick carefully lest you expend more money and effort than you need to.
Check out "The Dual Rating Method" on this website to see how to most efficiently be trained in both. Note that the costs have likely gone up since he wrote it:

For more information specifically about helicopters, I invite you to spend some time looking through the following websites:
http://www.verticalreference.com/
http://www.justhelicopters.com/home/default.asp
Both websites also have flight school listings, so you can find one in your area. This one is perhaps the most complete:
http://www.verticalreference.com/helicopterreviews/showcat.php?cat=2
You can read some of my other answers about flying both:

You can also see my answer about becoming a helicopter pilot specifically:

Please investigate each option very thoroughly. No one on Answers can tell you everything you need to know, and every pilot out there has a unique perspective. Talk to many pilots, visit flight schools, join online aviation forums, and do whatever else it takes to get the information you need from multiple sources. Prove to yourself that the path you have selected is the best one before you start.
Good luck!

Airplane Helicopter Midair Crash Caught On Tape
What is the difference between the way an airplane and a helicopter fly?
- When would an airplane be more useful?
- When would a helicopter be more useful?
The difference, as has been said, is an Airplane generates lift by moving through the air while a Helicopter rotates it's wing allowing it to generate lift without forward motion. Whether fixed or rotating the wing achieves lift due to it's shape. The upper side is rounded causing passing air to accelerate. This makes the air less dense creating a low pressure compared to air below the wing.
Disadvantage of Helicopters are speed and capacity. Speed is limited by the retreating wing/blade. Forward airspeed and blade speed combined cannot exceed the speed of sound. Capacity is limited due to the energy required in rotating the blades and it's resultant drag.
Fixed Wing Aircraft require less power for lift as they take advantage of forward momentum. This means greater speed, higher load capacity and improved fuel consumption. Cheaper operating costs.
Obviously because of it's ability to hover Helicopters have the advantage of landing in small spaces and hover in the event cargo or personnel need to be hoisted or inserted.
