21st Century Innovations for the Helicopter
I want a turn key solution. Just like in my car. I turn the key and the bloody thing starts up and is ready to fly. No need for hundreds of boring checks, all that could be automated in todays highly integrated systems, one should think.
If that could come together with a moderate diskloading so that one could hover without creating havoc to the world below and together with a cabin that is fairly level in the hover combined with a hight that alows a northern european to work in the cabin upright is all I ask for. Ready is your SAR bird, provided it can carry fuel for 5 hours.
