Soldier makes rotor appear differently (11)

I believe the answer is:

paratrooper

'soldier' is the definition.
(I know that paratrooper is a type of soldier)

'rotor appear differently' is the wordplay.
'differently' indicates an anagram.
'rotor'+'appear'='rotorappear'
'rotorappear' anagrammed gives 'PARATROOPER'.

'makes' is the link.

(Another definition for paratrooper that I've seen is " Airborne soldier".)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
