Interesting that although his technical vision started with coaxials, it matured into the conventional single main rotor and tail rotor.
True, the single main rotor and tail rotor has reached its maturity.

Now Sikorsky, and Bell with its tiltrotors, are moving into Generation II rotorcraft, which necessitates the use of twin main rotors.
