cool tech. rotots rotate in the opp directions meaning that overall torque is neutral.. so no need for tail rotor.

It increases total lift and eliminates the need for a tail rotor

@jasong19711 its for downdraft, this helicopter is used to carry logs and such from forrest, becasue of the downdraft of a conventional helicopter would be to strong to do a task such as that, they use something like this
