Heliofly III-59 (1943)

This is an old idea. If it was a good idea the skies would be filled with them.

So once you land on US soil, how do you get it back to the Mexican side so the next guy can use it? Or are they planning to build a fleet of them?

The wife wouldn't want me just flying around having a good time.

Tiny rockets at the tips of the helicopter´s rotor blades take the place of a tail rotor, a component which couldn´t be safely attached to a human body.

I don't understand this. I think the only way this works is if the rockets prevented the rotors from turning. The problem is the rotors turning in one direction--not how they turn. If they are turning, there is torque, no?
