I wonder if you could just create some kind of roof over the rotors, thus negating the "attack".

... but then someone else would invent balloons filled with mylar pieces that can saturate the area around the props.

What exactly do you think is the point of helicopter rotors?

Morphling|11 years ago

Yeah, I'm not aerospace engineer, but couldn't you just put the roof like 10 cm above the rotors so it has enough air flow?

To generate lift. It's most certainly not to shield the helicopter from attacks from above.

Not that.
