That type of redundancy doesn't help very much for a bird strike.We just need the cheap DJI version. Stacking the motors with a center shaft design like this was my point. It would allow the Inspire to fly as an Octocopter with the redundancy it desperately needs, while keeping much of the same basic design. Add battery and FC redundancy and you have a winner.

Shotover, where buying a helicopter looks cheap by comparison!
I have doubts about that design. I see lots of friction and bearing issues. And I can't tell if that will be better or worse for coaxial efficiency.
