@leoclub626 You got that right.Then build a rocket powered system to increase all aspects of heli performance, the transmission,mast and rotor would be over built adding weight to this new heli.

I've seen domes crowning the rotors of a few more modern helicopters in my image surfing over the years. I always assumed they were some kind of radar or communications package, though. Looking back, I recall they appeared on the bigger copters, which would make sense if they were actually ROR systems.

We ought to develop this technology further
