    There is side view 1/3 of the page. It shows aircraft-like design
    with tailwheel and VERY HIGH incidence of the fuselage on the
    ground. Was it helicopter or autogyro? Helicopters work with
    NEGATIVE angle of attack of main rotor – quite reverse to design
    shown in the page you linked.

    Rob, compare these drawings with side view of any existing (real!)
    helicopter. If Fa 284 wasn’t tilt rotor it would have troubles
    during take-off.

    That’s NOT THE SAME design! Fa-223/S.E. 3000 had proper incidence of
    main rotor.
