Has anyone ever made (I am just thinking out loud of one idea I have been pandering) making a coaxial BUT!!!!! With the upper disc having shorter and wider blades and if needed extra pitch to equal out the torque? Just for making the height a bit less between the two sets of blades. Shorter blades flex less.

I wish I had an area close to me that was large enough to play with this thing close to the ground.
I would have to trailer it 42 miles one way for a safe area. I've had it off the ground and that was spooky at first. _________________ The laws of physics dictate not negotiate. A madman uses his genius to be destructive. A genius uses his madness to be constructive. |

QH 50's little brother RON 1 by Gyrodyne of Flower field New York.... ASK helicopters bought it as a salvage sale and sold it to these guys who market as their 'new' idea I bought my Mouse rotor blades from them long ago - Gyrodyne is now into commercial real estate |

Again, why isnt one of these commercially viable?
Is it because they cant auto rotate? I know you said some contras can some cant. This should be the shit of brought to market the right way. |

This should be the shit of brought to market the right way. Coaxil helicopters suffer from - higher cost X2 main rotor systems - and control reversal in yaw during autorotation (QH 50 & RON 1 had no issues in yaw - servo drag flaps for yaw) Noland is fixed pitch No demand? |
