I see your point! Here 'asas rotativas' is translated to 'rotorcraft' a few times: http://www.linguee.pt/portugues-ingles/search?sourceoverride...

I think 'rotativa' and 'giratória' are used interchangably in this context. I know this is not quite an 100% method, but if you look up 'rotorcraft' in Wikipedia and click 'español' it says 'aeronave de alas giratorias'. Seems to me to suggest it's all the same thing when you compare it to those lists in Linguee.

Note from asker:
| Thank you. You may very well be right, and of course "asas" are wings, but if "asas rotativas" are "rotary wings" how does that vary from "asas giratórias"? Obviously I don't know much about planes. |

rotorcraft
aeronave de asas rotativas = rotorcraft
This is the term used by the FAA (for whatever it's worth) and the Brazilian equivalent ANAC pretty much follows their terminology in English, according to the PDF below.
Lindsay's answer is also correct.

Jennifer Levey
: Yes - in the absence of unambiguous context favouring one or the other, the translation should cover both heli- and gyro-copter wings.

Reference:
gyro/heli-copters = rotorcraft
Contrast and compare: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogyro (= gyrocopter) in which the wing turns under its own power, and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter which has an engine to turn the wing.
