Cool, as a novelty. Not sure about any commercial application. Too much can go wrong.
(Although...the same was said about the Wright bros....LOL)

Cool, as a novelty. Not sure about any commercial application. Too much can go wrong. The same is true of any helicopter. Especially the Piaseki/Vertrol/Boeing design, but also the Kaman, both basic types have overlaping main rotors, which can "become entangled". Not that the single main rotor w/anti torque tail rotor type is without it's problems as well. This actually looks a bit simpler than most helicopters.
