Well, let's just say that "nutjob" helped build the rockets used to put the Space Shuttle into orbit. He worked for Rocketdyne back before it got bought out by Boeing and he's a very sharp guy. He posed the question when it came up in a conversation unrelated to helicopters, but since I am an instructor, he asked me if it would affect helicopters. I told him I didn't know, but if there was anyone that did, they would probably be on PPRuNe!
Thanks for the responses guys. Instructor or not, I'm still learning.
