They’ve been doing coaxal rotors and tandem rotors for a long time. I presume they have it worked out.

But the linkages and swashplates for two rotor systems need to be assembled atop the mast (they rotate in opposite directions), which just strikes me as stupid.

Plus, a crappy pilot (or bad weather) can cause blade self-collision.
