VW2 Helicopter
Fail safe helicopter perhaps. Dual engines and no rear tail boom rotor.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by the mainstream media which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of $h!t by the clean end.

Well, these little noise/widow makers can also not fly with one motor when it stops. I guess most fall out of the sky if motor fails .
I would rethink that comment. -

Re: VW2 Helicopter
I actually meant it would not get airborne with the weight of one engine even if it had the power of both engines.GeraldNagel wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 3:31 pmWith the power from a VW engine it would not even get off the ground with only one engine installed

<twin beetle engines! Must have weighed a ton>
This is kind of a silly remark from the point of view that Volkswagen engines are comparatively <light> for a four-cylinder internal combustion engine!

Re: VW2 Helicopter
Perhaps each engine may be possibly used per blade set to obtain the contra rotating movement.
No remark is silly when I see something like this.
