Some quick answers.

"carbon composite construction, with imbedded Kevlar
Carbon brakes like glass. Kevlar makes it brake like safety glass.

" Btw carbon may be too stiff for certain usages. "
In those locations use fiberglass.

" 10% lighter. >>>> wow.. whitch componants "
The engine, the transmission, the rotor .......

" >>>> rotor : why not a 2 bladed semi-rigid one ?"
The pros and cons of different rotors ain't available as a quick answer.


"oh yes ! hurt me "
Kinky. Perhaps one of the female pilots would be better qualified.
