But I like my tail rotor, how else am I going to cut the hedges?

I am a little confused about the induced power reqs. on the single rotor does that 27% include the tail rotor pwr? or is that added on.

I am pretty sceptical about any big changes occuring in the industry. I think most of the manufacturers are pretty set in their ways, and would probably be reluctant to switch to a new format without significant benefits. Or would the 1% improvement in effeciency actually justify it? I don't claim do know very much about aerodynamics or the industry, just my opinion on it.
