Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84881269 I find that hard to believe, I would like to see a test where one rotor is shut down. Of course, if a missile takes out one rotor, the whole craft would be unbalanced, the same as if you blasted a wing off on any aircraft!

More than broke. Ever looked at the debt clock? Debt that the taxpayer has to pay for. So the enthusiasm of those whose tax money is being wasted here should be pretty low.
