Whatever happened to autorotation? There's stories of guys having 20+ hueys, and later on multiple Cobras, shot to pieces in Vietnam, and autorotation kept them alive. A quick pickup & hop back to base, they'd grab a new helo, and back off to battle they went.
Cool Russian system though. Looks like it would make for a pretty crazy ride. I've seen footage of the U.S. testing a similar system, anybody know what happened with it?
