http://1000aircraftphotos.com/Helicopters/999.htm Would you fly this one? Definitely! The reason, why somebody tried this very good, but unusual (and at first confusing) concept is: As we all know, a helicopter is at least statically unstable. This is one of the big disadvantages esp. in hovering. BUT, if the CG is above the rotor disc, the whole things becomes stable!!! |

Or how 'bout these huh?
http://i3.tinypic.com/wapyfd.jpg This one actually flew. Can you imagine losing a blade? Can you imagine stumbling on landing? http://i3.tinypic.com/wapyxk.jpg How's bout one w/ only one blade? http://i3.tinypic.com/wapz6s.jpg http://i3.tinypic.com/wapzeq.jpg What's the deal w/ the counter weight? Why not have two blades and use that dead weight to generate lift? The Monk |
