Doubt many wives would go for it! You know, being distracted by it rather than focusing on her! if ya know what I mean

 

 

Fyi, no price as of yet. Here is the artists contact http://www.raffaeleiannello.com/en/

Interesting idea.

 

Personally i'd rather a helicopter that was not inverted, that one just rubs me the wrong way for some reason.

 

I'd bet one not inverted would have almost the same volume of air circulation than this one, and look better at the same time. Even have the tail rotor work as a directional fan :-)

 

But, since I have not built my own fan, i can't talk that much crap about this one

Looks like he used an RC model for it. I agree, it would look better upright, it would probably be harder to build that way though.

I have been thinking about it for a while. I think that the reason it sort of disturbes me is that in any helicopter or helicopter company I will likely ever work for, an inverted helicopter is what happens right before the crash and fatalities.

Here are some fans I thought were pretty clever. They're in an Ace Hardware in Tucson, AZ (6959 East 22nd Street)
