why not rig up a Ec145, a R22, R44 for remote controlled flight and fly them in to a DJi and see what the results are, that way we will know for sure what the results will be.
And of course you are willing to
- pay enough of these helis (at least you will need 4)
- pay the rigging for RC-flight of these
- pay for the testing and certification of this rigging (otherwise the are not allowed to get into air)
- pay the DJis
- plan and execute all the necessary test scenarios (impact from above, front, tail rotor, side)
?
Why should the heli-industry bother?
There are rules in the airspace.
Every new participant has to obey to these rules. And they include aircraft certification and pilot certification.
Who are the "new kids on the block"? Guess what? The "multicopter guys".
If the like to play with others in the same airspace, well, easy: Get those rules into your brains!
As some others stated: I would definitely not want to be the first heli pilot getting to know how a "multicopter strike" feels like.
