By the looks of it, this also means their concept will have a sensor in each of the lenses. Ricoh tried this and failed. This system with a sensor in each lens will get expensive quick.
I think he's an idiot. Even though he could have been 100 ft from where the lines hit the ground, fault current in the ground could have easily been enough to kill him, especially in adverse weather conditions. Look up "Step and Touch Potential"
actually it would start to spin uncontrollably with out the tail rotor, just because there is no powered axle between the main rotor and the main body of the helicopter doesn't mean that the friction from the rotor and where it is connected to the body isn't enough to cause it to start spinning. We don't live in a world with frictionless bearings. Also the fuel delivery system to the rockets probably add's a lot more friction to the main rotors axle.
It might not happen as quickly and violently as a normal heli would if it lost it's rotor, but if he were high enough, by the time he got the heli to the ground he could be spinning like a tea cup.
I just have a notification pop up when ever I receive an email at one of my 7 (8) email addresses, so I can read and/or respond within seconds of receiving.
These are some of the best photo-realistic drawings I've seen.
I was just about to post the same thing. That was one good episode.
