That's an airship/helicopter. I don't give it credit for being a helicopter. I saw it in the paper yesterday. It does look pretty cool though. Great idea I think if it's affordable which it does look to be.

Hope it fares better than this one.

Thanks to the advent of computer aided flight controls it shouldnt be to much of a problem. The first one definately goes into that good idea, bad excecution catagory.

So its pretty much just a blimp with more propellers?

Do we have to keep the spirit of assonance alive? If so:

Diprotonic excessively-subsonic three-dimensional-conic-copter

Or, taking a more alliterative approach:

The Helium Heli....

Not particularly creative, I know.

Is it even a contest‽

Finally it will bring death and destruction to our enemies!

That's pretty cool. I'd really like to see them bring back huge blimps again. Something about seeing carrier sized things floating in the sky.

I can hear the conversations at the O-Club now:

Jet guy: "Rhinos are sooo cool. I get to drop bombs and trap."

P3 guy: "Well, when I fly, I get to drink coffee, stretch my legs, and go in the back to take a dump."

E6 guy: "Well, I get to nap in a bed, use the ovens for cooking real meals, and have a flush toilet."

Blimb guy: "Well, on my last flight, I brought my family along and we had an executive demi suite between the tennis courts and swimming pool. Over those 2 weeks we saw lots of great concerts in the amphitheater and ate in the 5 star restaurant."

Hmmm. . .actually that kinda sounds like the Air Force. . .
