No tail rotor, no tail boom, no H-V worries...Pegasus helicopter
Have been watching
this for a while, and it won't seem to go away...
Pegasus has developed a safe, low-cost, easy-to-fly two-seater helicopter based on breakthrough pressure jet technology that significantly reduces the number of parts used compared to a conventional helicopter. Most notably it has no tail rotor, therefore no tail rotor gear box, tail rotor drive or tail boom. Likewise, it has no main rotor drive system or complex transmission for the main rotor. As a result of these simplifications, Pegasus believes its PH-200PJ is dramatically easier to operate - and safer - than conventional designs.
