Prop-Rotors would be cross-shafted left and right and fore and aft.

Clearly there is some advantage over the twin in that you have 75 per cent rather than 50 per cent of power left after a single failure.

That said, my local dealer doesn't have access to the kind of chemicals that would make the QTR look sensible.
