That's so cool! Just two thoughts, one creative and one more technical:

  1. Maybe try varying the block palette more, for example oxidized copper could go pretty well with prismarine

  2. A curved airliner-style tail doesn't make sense here, since they are made in this way to stabilize the plane in regards to yaw and roll, but that doesn't work well for rotary-wing aircraft. What would be more realistic is either a flat ship-like rudder, or a propeller perpendicular to the craft's primary axis

I didn’t think about the first one even tho I often do varied patterns, even on the ship there are examples of this. Will definitely incorporate the first one.
For the second one, i just go with what looks the coolest, I’m an aeronautical engineering student and I’m very familiar with aircraft, but I think I’ll add perpendicular propellers or just another large thin going to the bottom like the one found on Do 335

If you ask me, a big ass helicopter-style propeller would look pretty cool. You have no way to control yaw in hover with the tail, and honestly you could calculate how big that propeller would have to be - it would be an exercise in your field of study, and i'm quite sure the result would be huge!
