When Lithium Aerospace was tasked with designing a helicopter they took the simplest approach - MOAR ROTORS!
Some would argue that the Harpy is technically a quadcopter but here at Lithium Aerospace we call it the way it should be called, especially considering how much it can carry (I didn't actually measure it, instead I carried a plane around)
The helicopter has side doors and a rear cargo ramp as well as space for passengers and 2 magnets. The control system is rotors only, no gyros (for those asking). Hovers at just less than 40% collective when too high for ground effect.

Beautiful work, thank you.
@FlyingPotato_131 Thank you)) I will fix the problem
@olympus333 I really don't know what else to do, likely a collision only problem. Also, nice avatar!
@FlyingPotato_131 After you said there were no collisions, everything became clear. Collisions occur, and because of this, the details cling. I'll fix it, what else can I do now?...
@olympus333 that is very weird, I haven't been able to replicate it even once. Maybe the download corrupted and some part properties (like no collisions) are missing?
@FlyingPotato_131 FPS does not sink, at the level of 60 frames per second. The propellers are destroyed, because of this, the whole helicopter explodes in a second
@olympus333 I tested low and medium physics, works universally. What FPS are you getting and which parts get destroyed?
@FlyingPotato_131 I have a pirated version of the game, as I downloaded it, I didn't change any settings at all except the graphics
@olympus333 strange... What physics settings are you on?
It doesn't work. Destroyed when Group 1 is activated
Brilliant effort on the modelling-it looks amazing
Sharp looking aircraft inside and out, flies really well in VR.
Here's a link to a short you tube video showcasing it on my channel.
Thanks for building this one.

Nice
Great work on the cockpit and the windows. Looks clean.
That's the perfect helicopter,
Nice Work 👍
@V2 I think there was an old one I designed, i'll try to find it
does your fictional company have a logo i can use? im making a racecar with sponsors from companies from the simpleplanes community
Good job
