I don't really think this particular multirotor will make a dent in the current heli market. What interests me about this is that this might be a new avenue for developing better helicopters. Earlier electric cars were also much more expensive, inefficient and deadly than current ones. That the current one is kinda shitty doesn't rule out future succes. Do you think this might one day become good enough or is the lack of autorotation and other real heli features too big of a constraint?
