Question Can Helicopters fly inverted?

Hi All,

Here is a question for you;

I have been considering projects for my final year of University and have been thinking of doing something on the theory of flight. I have looked at pictures of Radio Controlled Helicopters and this got me thinking,

Can Helicopters fly inverted for a sustained period?

I would appreciate your technical expertise on this subject and reasons.

P.S. I am aware that Apaches can loop and roll, but not sustained inverted flight
