I'm at a part 141 school right now. We spend a lot of class time talking about automation and whether the extreme cost of flight school is worth it in 2023. I may switch majors and study finance instead.
That's a great question. Many small helicopters are belt driven; some of the advantages include vibration isolation and simplified maintenance. On this aircraft, the belts you see near the main rotor blades comprise the secondary reduction.

@@randylahey2242 you still on the cheeseburgers Randy?
no flight training is not worth it!
Congratulations!
forget flight training, pilots are about to be replaced.
That’s a lot of people to control 1 unmanned (but remote controlled) helicopter.
That's how flight testing works 😉 (R&D ≠ finished product/service)
I don't think my job is threatened.
Why is the rotor belt driven?
