The air-cooled internal-combustion engine has a horizontally opposed construction and is arranged within walls of a cabin of the helicopter. In order to supply the internal-combustion engine with cooling air and intake air, air inlet openings are provided at the side walls of the cabin. For the discharge of the cooling air, outlet openings are arranged at the underside of the cabin.
