Historical development of helicopter; current and projected applications of one type of VTOL -- multirotor design; advantages include utilization of concept of multilifting rotor configurations in helicopter design to provide compensation for lifting-rotor torque while using all rotors for lift; some multilifting rotor VTOL aircraft that may appear within next decade are previewed; they include special heavy-lift application, hybrid types -- tilt-wing and tilt-rotor configurations that enable craft to both hover as helicopter and fly as airplane.
