A Chinook was basically what I was envisioning… what does a Chinook do that my U-shaped proposal wouldn’t do? How does stabilization with rotors work? EDIT: Ok, so helicopters use some sort of weighted balls attached to their rotors, and maybe some flexibility in the rotors also… I still don’t fully understand how it works but it seems like there are probably explainer videos somewhere.

Yeah, the mechanics of helicopter rotors is pretty complex and a bit counter-intuitive, Smarter Every Day has a series on it
