A comment on Rotary Rocket.

How come this vehicle doesn't self spin around the rotor axis? Like a traditional single rotor helicopter would do without the tail rotor?

The tip jets supply the rotational power so no torque exists (other than some friction) between body and rotor to cause body rotation.
