One thing I've always wondered is why is it so hard to make a self-flying helicopter? Helicopters already exist, can carry much heavier weights than most multirotors, and have other pro's (like being able to auto-gyrate). Is there some reason we haven't automated the flying of those and are instead going for multirotors?
Or do they exist but just aren't sexy enough to make headlines?
