Svenestron,
Good point well made. So unless the "flight" mode is doomed to be forever climb & descend our pressurised space-bubble prototype helicopter needs to have the modification of a pusher/puller prop with collective pitch. For fun, lets assume that such a prop is fitted on an extension to the tail boom (twist grip could be modified to allow fore/aft velocity control). This also overcomes K48's concern about exhaust reaction.
I'm of the keep-it-simple philosophy, so i won't fit lateral thrusters unless the test pilots on Rotorheads complain about lack of control. So would controlling roll velocity and climb/descend velocity be enough to attempt a spot landing?
Maybe we should consider what other controlability flight tests this machine should undergo to prove/disprove its capabilities inside the pressurised bubble?
