It's quite simple, the rocket should be standing still and the robbie going backwards at mach 1.5

Re: What's wrong with this picture?
I've actually read this book (and a few others by the same author, there not bad if you want some trashy action) and the author has done just enough research on the R44 and helicopters in general to make himself look like a bit of a tool (A little bit of knowledge can be very dangerous) not only does the pilot fly this beast from the left hand side SOLO (it tells you this in the book), the engineer has done more mods than simply adding guns and rockets to it, he has also moved the tail rotor on to the opposite side according to the picture!! Aside from all this the helicopter is owned by "The Corporation" which is a multi-billion dollar organisation with all the bleeding edge technology and the “best of the best” personal all handpicked by the directors. The helicopter is stored deep in the bowls of the ship they operate from (that is made to appear like an old rundown freighter) which is capable of going some ridicules speed due to some super secret technology that no one else has got or knows of. Despite all this they can only afford a R44 (I’m guessing it’s only a Raven I or II as they couldn’t afford to put floats on it).

trashy action
Got that right. If my fallible memory serves. One of Clives many novels details the pilot leaving the controls in the hover to operate the winch. Still, I guess some novels have flying brooms, and even competent, caring politicians....

not only has the 44 got a offensive capability but it has auto pilot as well, nice one!
