Today's Burning Question No. 3

Can you engineer a helicopter with a swastika for rotor blades? And if so, would Max Mosley attempt to screw a hooker in it at 2o,ooo feet?

I would have thought it was possible. Have it rotating counter clockwise and engineer each of the 4 "blades" to have similar aerodynamics to a "flying wing" type plane. Can’t see it being too much of a problem. The catch would be that it wouldn’t look anything like a Swastika once the blades got in motion… Some serious thought would have to be put into working out how to pull off that optical illusion…

You have thought about this entirely too much, my friend...
