They are mechanically simpler, but aerodynamically and electrically vastly more complex. These designs are only possibly due to modern engineering, otherwise they would have been invented before the helicopter.
- marcosdumay 7y agoIt's mechanical complexity that brings unreliability and high maintenance. Electrical complexity is more reliable by orders of magnitude, and aerodynamics won't fail mid-flight.
