Let me know your thoughts on the idea I came up with in the comments below thank you for your support and kindness especially for an autistic person like myself keeping the website alive with fresh ideas no offence to anyone in particular.

Woah, two counter rotating eight bladed rotors,  "4 electric motors an electric no tail rotor unit" ? Canard foreplanes and fixed wing? On a Cheyenne? How? What you want to build with all of this? Another incarnation of Sikorsky S-72 X-wing? And how these "amphibious flying boat seaplanes armed with guns of 14.5mm machine guns 40mm cannons & 105mm rifled guns" came out?


I think you will need at least a C-130 for all those guns! :o  ;D
About three models worth of ideas there. Counter rotating rotors on the ends of outriggers like a V-22. All electric power would mean no intakes or exhausts. Maybe just some cooling vents. Batteries packed into spaces formerly used for fuel. A wider fuselage to hold some for longer range. Battery packs that can be switched out quickly. Just thinking out loud here. My wife hates it when I do that! :wacko:

Why would you need a counter-rotating rotor on EACH wingtip?

Having a single rotor on each tip, rotating in OPPOSITE directions, just like a V-22, does the job a treat.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

True but extra rotors would just makes it look wild!

I wouldn't dream of telling anyone here what to build. I hope it didn't sound that way. Just letting thoughts spill out.

I just wanted to sort out what thundereagle1997 had in mind because I couldn't even imagine anything based on his description :)
