Landing in the rotors forward configuration has been tested but there are concerns that the blades, which are designed to shatter, as they can travel about 2.5 miles outwards and could seriously ruin someones day. This wouldn't be an issue with a stationary rotor but 2 spinning rotors could be interesting for the chap/chappess in the approach caravan.
