| Jul 5, 2017 at 21:03 | comment | added | Simon | @Pondlife But my answer on that one only talks about power. You can have plenty of power but a vertical take-off is dangerous since you cannot safely autorotate if the engine quits. | |
| Jul 5, 2017 at 21:01 | comment | added | Simon | The mods will usually not intervene. I've voted to re-open so it will go into the review queue and everyone who reviews will see it. I doubt anyone will vote to keep it closed, but let's see. In the meantime, read this. | |
| Jul 5, 2017 at 21:00 | comment | added | Pondlife | FWIW, I suggested this is a dupe because the accepted answer to the other question does include safety concerns as a reason not to take off directly: "will result in a rapid descent back to earth", "cannot produce lift or even worse, stall the blades". But as always, that's only my opinion and others may see it differently. | |
| Jul 5, 2017 at 20:53 | comment | added | mmathis | @Simon edited, but I don't see a way to remove the duplicate warning. Flagged for mod attention. | |

Remove the question about efficiency, as that has been answered in another question

| Jul 5, 2017 at 20:47 | comment | added | Simon | I don't believe that this is a duplicate since the answers linked do not answer why it's not safe. | |
