Cool

Maybe it's all to do with the weight of the machine, the rigidity of the rotor head and the lesser(inverted)coning angle thus produced with a much greater rrpm. I would think it possible to design and fly such a real helicopter but let me ask you a question. Why would you want to?
Also.. Why can a man withstand a drop of 10 feet and an elephant not? only joking..
