I’m not an helicopters expert, so, my question is: “could be possible to build an Orioncopter“?
I don’t know if this concept could be really built someday but (certainly) it’s curious and amazing
Everything about this fascinating idea is explained here: http://www.gaetanomarano.it/articles/025orioncopter.html
Note: the Orioncopter has NO engines aboard and works with multiple auto-rotations

Launch the Orion with the Shuttle!
.
another interesting idea about the Orion is to launch it with the Shuttle (instead of the Ares-I) to save very much R&D time and money:

Its an old idea that was in development by Roton. The exception is Roton’s rotor was powered and helped during ascent.http://www.spacefuture.com/archive/the_roton_concept_and_its_unique_operations.shtml
