This is a coaxial copter with a tail rotor for thrust, not yaw control.

So doesn't that mean that the main rotors don't have to tilt to create forward thrust? And without such a joint, wouldn't that make the main assembly stronger (more rigid, less complex, etc)? What kind of advantages might that bring?
