Heli-cal : Single engine, no floats, over water, line attached!
10/10 for observation. Maybe...
ENGINE: So - let's assume it had 2 engines and did the same thing at the same height and an engine went...... are you any happier ?
FLOATS
I suppose they might cushion the impact as the helicopter goes straight down on to the boat. Floats are, of course, immensely useful in fast flowing water over a dam.
LINE
We now know it is held by hand and will cause no problem if let go.
Thanks for the sarcasm, speculative questions and stating facts known
after I made the post.
However, what I asked
was
Why would you do this in a R44?
Specifically,
this R44!
ENGINE: So - let's assume it had 2 engines
Then it would
not be this R44!
There are
no floats!
