I'm sorry but I hope this was intended as an artistic piece. it is very interesting however with the main landing gear confidentally that far back I believe it is safe to say that the center of gravity is beyond the point of return (way to far back). As well, seeing how the tail rotor is directly below the main rotor, if they were to even pull back on the stick, they'd strike the whole mast probably. You gotta remember these huey's have tetering rotors (meaning they teter up and down ALOT)
@ALLERTORLOVER69 I don't think they allow url's in the comment section, so in the description above is copied the only web site I could find with some detail about the helicopter's design (in the last paragraph). The MoMA web site only says it was made from spare parts.
It won't fly. Everything about it is off. If it did fly I'd be shocked

I am sure this helicopter is made from the body of a Sikorsky R4 with the rotor head from a Bell 47? Still impressive. Cheers
