Hi Dave,
GREAT (b)pitch!!!!
I hope it works! ABC is just too fantastic a concept....
However individual bladecontrol, fly by wire, ...I am not too big a fan of that, except you find a way for an idividual blade control based on mechanical principals and not fly by wire or light. As long as electronic equipment (like GPS`s, etc) keep on quitting on me at the most inoportune times I have a hard time to trust that concept.
There got to be a reason why Sikorsky did not go with a fly by wire/light system on their new ship (Nick...?), although it ran side by side with the NH90.
It seems logical, as there are way less moving parts to fail, but when it fails there is nothing a human could do to control the thing....
Just look at the V-22 prototyp that crashed for wrong wiring on the maiden flight - AND it turned out that the other was wired wrong as well, just not that bad...
Dave, PLEEEASE keep your projects at least flyable if the gadgetry fails!!
