Two-Seater Folding Helicopter

(19)Apr-30-09

The Hummel is a two passenger lightweight helicopter that has a fully enclosed cabin and tandem rotors which offer the same stability as a conventional helicopter.

When you're done flying it folds into a box shape for easy storage and transportation.

This new helicopter design has many potential applications including air taxi, emergency services, coast guard, police, army and personal transport and recreation.

This looks like a really good solution but so much detail is missing like, engine or maybe two engines, power source (electric or conventional fuel), pilots license, range, altitude limits, cruising speed, controls (obviously there is no cyclic pitch control necessary) has it actually flown ?

Looks like yet another 2-fan jetpack- of which plenty have been proposed in the past. It probably has no autorotation ability (to survive an engine failure, lack of fuel etc). How is this better than a conventional helicopter?
