Helicopters don't have such weight:MTOW ratios. At best, you'd be looking at 1:2 (8,000:16,000), but that's for a stripped-out raw-function Mi-26 or CH-47.
For a heavy luxury vehicle, you'd have an empty weight of 10,000-11,000 kg. Pick any number in this range that you like, say 10,240. Fix the rotors. If it's a tandem rotor, both should be identical or near-identical. As the pic shows two 4-blade rotors, best to stick to that. MAAM... Medium AtA missiles? Better ditch that. These can't be used without full combat avionics, besides, a fighter or an AtA helicopter will rip a transport apart anyway. But if you really want, you could mount tubes for MANPADS - Stinger, Igla, MLSA-11. These are more or less self-contained. Won't do much, but they might deter an opportunistic attacker on a Cessna, I guess. |
