I think the jet will take care of the tail rotor first.
It's a nicely engineered thing, in appearance anyway. Doesn't look like it will fly though!
I think this object is a computer-generated image (CGI), even though it looks real.
If you go to the website the designer says that he is "currentry (sic) working in a sawmill," with a picture of a sawmill and the only products shown in "works" are his images used on packages.
I think he must be some Japanese with a brain the size of a planet who specialises in CGI because you can also see a snowmobile with Formula One car technology, some sort of high-performance wheelbarrow (?) and a head modelled in three dimensions. All of these things seem to be demonstrations of how real-looking CGI can be rather than physical objects. The tail rotor on the helicopter would be wiped out the second that oleo went to full stroke, just for one thing. For another, we would have heard about Michael Jackson buying one by now, to go with his Sky Car.

Given that all of the other designs have the following text in the corner:
"CINEMA4D XL6.3/Metasequoia/Photoshop"
I think your bet that its CGI is a safe one.

Send the guy $100 by paypal and he'll send you blueprints. Then just go to your bike shop where they'd 'tune it up' :ouch:
Yeah, agree guys. The landing gear and TR positioning aren't ideal.
What if you get stuck in sewer cover when landing?? :ugh:
