  2. Not many more than a chopper.

  3. Also, contact with hedges would for sure damage the airfoils and change their shapes and characteristics and balance.

  6. Could take the place of diving planes. Could enable hovering with lower noise and power consumption than conventional forward motion as usually required to control depth.

  13. Agreed about control of blade pitch.
