Description
Seems that powered aircraft draw much more attention from the community than the silent ones (On many airshows, you can walk the halls alone as soon as an afterburner is to be heard outside).
In the 1960s, helicopters with auxiliary wings have been predicted a great future. Performance in cruise flight would be enhanced by reduction of the main rotor´s power consumption. Probably most well known example became the passenger version of the Mil Mi-6 heavy helicopter.
But why to use a symmetrical arrangement with two wings, meanwhile the rotor in forward flight is asymmetric anyway? So if we use only one wing on that side where the rotor blades move backward, it will cause a rolling moment which works against the one of the rotor and therefore less cyclic pitch adjustment is necessary. Moreover, the assymetric drag will cause a yawing moment that tends to compensate for the main rotor torque thus the tail rotor will consume less power.
I recently refined this image in AutoCAD 2011 which had originally been a proposal for a w/t model, what else (?). However, it is still to be considered as WIP.
Doesn´t the nose look like a teddy-bear? Hope you like him :-).

Looks like it has eyes and a nose!
