Helicopters are more resilient but not always.

There was an incident here many years back with a Hughes 500C following a Fokker F27 on approach which apparently makes nasty wake with a flap setting in the mid range.

The helicopter was rolled to the point that the shortest way back was to carry on with a complete roll.

On landing the tailboom was found twisted by about 25-30 degrees.
