The CoAX 2D/2R was originally known as the FLIP 2 (Fly In Perfection) and is a derivative of the FLIP 1, a conventional helicopter with a main and tail rotor.[1]The CoAX 2D/2R was designed to comply with the European Class 6 microlight helicopter rules, including the category's maximum takeoff weight of 450 kg (992 lb).
A coaxial-rotor aircraft is an aircraft whose rotors are mounted one above the other on concentric shafts, with the same axis of rotation, but turning in opposite directions (contra-rotating). This rotor configuration is a feature of helicopters produced by the Russian Kamov helicopter design bureau .

Climb and descent is controlled by increasing and decreasing the throttle. The aircraft lacks a tail rotor, as the coaxial, contra-rotating main rotors produce zero net torque. Yawing motion is produced and controlled by electronic gyroscopically-controlled differential electric braking of the main rotors. With its empty weight of 70 kg (154 lb ...
A Lama V3 model helicopter, with a simplified coaxial rotor system. A recent innovation is that of coaxial electric helicopters. The system's simple direction control and freedom from torque induced yaw have, in recent years, made it a good candidate on small models for beginner and/or indoor use.
AirScooter Corporation (OTC Pink: ASCO) is a defunct American aircraft manufacturer that was based in Henderson, Nevada. It designed and intended to manufacture an ultralight helicopter, with a coaxial rotor configuration. The company was founded in early 2000 by Elwood "Woody" Norris, who served as chairman of the board, and James "Jim" Barnes ...
The Gyrodyne RON Rotorcycle (originally designated HOG) was a tiny, single-seat helicopter designed under contract for the United States Navy. [1] in the mid-1950s.It later was redesigned for a U.S. Marine Corps requirement for a small personal helicopter that would fulfill an array of roles, including observation, liaison, small unit tactical maneuvers, and which could be dropped to downed ...
The aircraft fuselage is made from welded steel tubing. Its dual two-bladed rotors have diameters of 14.5 ft (4.4 m) and incorporate dual flapping hinges. Directional control is achieved by tilting the rotor mast. The aircraft has an empty weight of 500 lb (227 kg) and a gross weight of 850 lb (386 kg), giving a useful load of 350 lb (159 kg).
