The body (I guess you'd call it a fuselage) looked like this, except it had no side pods, only landings skids like helicopter. No windows, just four port holes in the lower front facing skin.

The rotors would have been spinning with the tips, or hoops, going at sub-sonic speeds.

I brought it up, because it must have had some kind of ultra light weight, high discharge, battery with pretty good range. It wasn't designed for forward speed, or a low drag co-efficient.

OK. what had me going is that 40,000 rpm number. What you describe now would have nothing going any where near 40,000 rom.
