Thanks, my message was a bit too obtuse, I should have spelled it all out. I think I mentioned the nexus further above.

All interesting stuff. It seems that helicopters of the current configuration may not be around for too long. Depends of course on the exact way the numbers work out but it would seem that a lot of the single points of failure of helicopters could be removed by the use of electric transmissions.

By the Way Electric Transmissions are not new.
