Description This is the design with only one rotor placed centrally. Being an autogyro, there is no torque, but the rotor can be put in motion using high pressure air purged from the engines.

Probably not. I adhered the concept of rear placed pilot cabin for survivability reasons. Visibility is poor, but enhanced artificially by front cameras or optical devices (periscopes).
As in battle tanks, enemy are usually at the front, so guns and armor must be placed in the nose. Behind them, engines and fuel. Finally pilot and propellers.

In this particular rendering program, I do not know how to do texturing.
To do texturing, I use 3D Studio Max instead. Wait...

The single rotor does look better balanced than the twin rotors version.
