[edit] Copyvio

Possibly: see http://avia.russian.ee/helicopters_eng/oemichen-r.html which cites K.Munson "Helicopters And Other Rotorcraft Since 1907", 1968 GraemeLeggett 10:37, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quadrocopter

We have an article de:Quadrocopter in the german wikipedia about the very same thing. Even if you can not understand the text one might get some inspiration by looking into pix, links and the diagram there - and maybe you might want to change the name of this article (or make a REDIRECT) to "Quadrocopter". --212.202.0.247 23:50, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quadruple Fiction

> For example, in a hypothetical rescue mission, a QTR could take off from Quantico Marine Corps Base in Virginia and fly to the American Embassy in Moscow with two refuelings over the North Atlantic. The QTR could then take up to 80 passengers out to a vertical recovery on an American ship in the Baltic. <

Wikipedia is NOT a Tom Clancy book. This event would end in the quadrotor getting blown outof the sky by russian missiles twice every mile. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.131.210.162 (talk) 13:09, 5 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] QTR split?

Having the QTR in here doesn't make much sense to me, we don't have, for instance, tiltrotors mixed in with tandom rotored helicotpers, so why here? Also, the Bell Boeing QTR is an established program and there's plenty of material, enough for a dedicated article, and unless someone vigorously objects, I'm splitting it off.

I merged the original QTR article into the Tiltrotor page a few weeks back, as there was little content. Most of the material in the Quadrotor article is uncited, and should really just be tossed. I've had the unreferenced tag on for several weeks, and we should just cut out most of what's there, including on the QTR. - BillCJ 05:03, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
