An Helicopter - Why not A?

0 I know that you guys have debated about this issue for many times. But I don't get it..H is not a vowel...it's neither E,U,O,I or A, so why do we get AN before Helicopter?02br
00BTW, I'm new here, and I apperciate the mods & the other guys who parcitipate in this forum and help others. English is an amazing language. I look up to you guys so much.02br
02br
00I want to ask for one thing...just one thing..feel free to correct me, all the time. Typos, grammar, whatever..Even if I write some word that you think is simple, just tell me how can I elevate it..Because I teach kids myself. Volunteering that is to teach kids from broken families.02br

00Love you all,02br

00Usually, where "an" before an H-sound is an option, the H-syllable is unstressed.02br
