BAH Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 This is not the first attempt to mate helicopters with a blimp. It was done some time ago by mating 4 S55's on the corners of a framework without tail rotors with a helium blimp in between. It unfortunatly met with disasterous and fatal results. I am trying to find a link to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
