RE: Ducted Fan Helo
Promising in what way? Anyone with more than a rudimentary knowledge of props will tell you that ducted fans re a horrible idea for a heli... A ducted fan has a lot of pitch speed due to high RPM, but very low thrust.... Great for a jet type plane, very poor for a heli.... The power requirements for something like this would be WAY higher than what would be needed for something with even normal 8 inch or so airplane props.... Wouldn't even be worth it for anything more than maybe a science project....
