I never liked flying on a helicopter.
The airframe is under constant torque.
Everything spins in circles.
There is a lot of vibration.
It's an unstable platform that wants to crash.
Aerodynamically there are some weird aspects to a helicopter. The faster he goes the less lift he'll get on the receding blade....etc.
I’m no engineer, but those don’t seem like good things.
Though I know they can auto-rotate and land, I don't completely buy it in many situations.
Just think of this. Your whole life depends on one bolt on top of a rotor system.
