Additionally, landing on a parking lot between some already parked cars (which I´ve already seen sometiimes in HEMS), also seems more difficult with that "wide body".
Where do I miss the point? Why is AH declaring this concept suitable for HEMS?

total width is the same as the MR disk. pusher rotor will have rotor break to stop upon entering landing phase. Aux rotor will only turn on after ground ops is completed and ready to take off.
