    Sikorsky went through a long way. Hope I will drive one of it’s descendants.

          It seems a bit odd. The main rotor imparts an opposite spin on the body. Tha tail rotor is there to counteract that spin by blowing sideways. A horizontal one would have to use just its spin, not getting the benefit of the air mass being pushed sideways.
