A '''helicopter bomb''', also known as a '''flying bomb''', is a type of bomb encountered in many games throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], most notably in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. These bombs fly by means of a mechanical helicopter similar to [[Rayman]]'s signature [[helicopter]] power. They can either fly directly towards him, and explode upon impact, or remain static, they will deal damage to the player if they should come into contact with them. Most of these bombs are manufactured by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, though some helicopter bombs which appear in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] may be the creations of [[Hoodlum]]s. In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', it appears that the Nightmares are now capable of manufacturing them. In many of the games in which they appear, [[warship]]s can despatch them.

Helicopter bombs, known in this game as flying bombs, are set to appear as Level 5 projectiles in ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''. Their Projectile cards have yet to be revealed.<ref>The updated rulebook says “For a spicy challenge, try replacing the “[[Ghost|Red Ghost]]” with the “Flying Bomb” Projectile card!”, and FLYOS later confirmed its existence through a response to a user’s comment and through artwork in the French version of the game's rulebook.</ref>
