Supercopter (or Airwolf in English) is an American television series created by Donald P. Bellisario and broadcast between 1984 and 1987 on the CBS network. The series follows the adventures of a group of secret agents who use a high-tech combat helicopter called Airwolf to accomplish dangerous missions around the world.

The main character in the series is a helicopter pilot named Stringen Hawke, a lonely who made a pact with the American government to find his twin brother, Saint John, who was captured by a group of mysterious enemies in exchange for The use of the Airwolf. Hawke is helped in his missions by a CIA team made up of the special agent Gabrielle "Gabby" Hayes and the chief engineer and technology expert, Dr. Charles Henry Moffet.

Over the episodes, Hawke and his team face a variety of opponents, ranging from international terrorists to double agents within the government agency for which they work. They use Airwolf, an overpowered helicopter equipped with high-tech weapons and advanced monitoring devices, to accomplish their difficult and dangerous missions.

In addition to its combat capacities, Airwolf is also able to fly at supersonic speeds and camouflage itself thanks to an electronic camouflage system. However, due to its power, the helicopter is often considered a dangerous and unpredictable weapon, and Hawke must constantly fight to keep control of the aircraft and prevent it from falling into bad hands.

During the series, Hawke and his team face many enemies such as the organization, an international terrorist group led by a mysterious figure known as "the general", and the Archangel, a double agent within The CIA seeking to seize the Airwolf for its own ends. Despite the obstacles and the dangers they encounter, Hawke and his team remain determined to accomplish their mission and to use Airwolf to protect the world from the constant threat of evil.
