  • what kind of an engine are you using

  • No engine, only roket blade tip

  • A ROCKET powered single-seat helicopter was launched today at Oshkosh...

  • DF1 Test: -3 Celsius (Dust from the rockets is steam until the rockets burn after several seconds 100% of the H2O2).

  • Thank you for your comment, I'll take the time to answer these next few days ....

  • stolen idea from Gilbert Magill in 1954

  • There is no torque caused by the rotor, the tail rotor acts only as a rudder.

  • is the fuselage made of wood?

  • why is there still a tail rotor? Because there isn't a rudder?

  • @jimday666 hahaha god flies without rotors

  • How long could you stay airborn ? and what's the fule consumption ?

  • Germany was using this technology in WW2. It's incredible and interesting. I thought the design made no torque, but the tail rotor on this copter means that's not the case.

  • absolutely amazing!!!! didn't think you were going to take off initially

  • On second thoughts - blade tip propulsion = no torque! Hover rotation by rotor shaft clutch? I've got to get one ...

  • As an ex-helicopter pilot, this looks the sort of thing to get me in the air again!

    Some comments: Cyclic passes through the pilot's forward vision. A coiuple of linkages will pass it underneath in the next model I assume.

    No pedals? Torque altered by rotating the cyclic?

    One turbine failure would just reduce radial power, not un-balance it.

    Standard auto for both failing, I assume.
