If it were me, I'd shop around for a military model

 A helicopter is a vehicle with thousand of parts trying to rip itself
apart. I think a drone type of configuration would be much safer. I
guess we'll find out if this is true.
 

The one that crashed in NY came apart.  The rotor came off and video showed it gently spinning to the ground.
