[1] The rotor is driven by tip jets fueled by hydrogen peroxide, which emits only water vapour and oxygen as exhaust products. The tail ...
Climb and descent is controlled by increasing and decreasing the throttle. The aircraft lacks a tail rotor, as the coaxial, contra-rotating main rotors produce zero net torque. Yawing motion is produced and controlled by electronic gyroscopically-controlled differential electric braking of the main rotors. With its empty weight of 70 kg (154 lb ...
