That sounds like a long-discarded prototype for the helicopter, before
they discovered you don't want the crew pod to spin with the blades.
:-)

Boy, that is a great idea. Just hang the cockpit below the fuselage, on a
swivel, and the pilot can keep facing one direction during a tight thermal.
My wife will finally get relief from those tight turns she does not like.

And pilots will no longer be uncomfortable in flat spins or graveyard
spirals.
