This should be an easy quiz for those who have even a modicum of knowledge about aircraft. 
The answer may surprise you.

"What is the primary advantage of rotary-winged aircraft over fixed-winged aircraft?"

I'll ignore that they shouldn't be hotloading.  And the props on a fixed wing can have similar effect, depending on where the door is.
