I am a pilot and an A&P Mechanic. Don't like helicopters. In a Huey the leading blade breaks the sound barrier making a terrible racket and they beat the hell out of you plus they fishtail constantly making some people instantly airsick. The one in the picture has 4 lifting motors in case one quits, the other ones will get you to the accident scene faster.
What are your pilot ratings??? Single engine rating, like most pilots, which means you only have one engine to depend on?
The WH helicopter not only has an engine, it also has battery/electric back-up. Helicopters have progressed far passed the 1952 designed Huey, which makes it's distinctive sound from "rotor slap", not the blade tips breaking the sound barrier.
