it looks like the radar blades have a little bit of a pitch,
thus possible contribution to lift, thus flapping.
so much for the radar picture quality?


in 2003 14 GFLOP of processing power, not bad, definitely in the instrument bay, today 50GFLOP would fit in the size of a smartphone box, and inside the rotor head.


Bluetooth the information down, get the energy from a small hub mounted generator.


I can see the headline yet: "The rotor head is getting a brain"
