That’s really dumb. How do you even get out of bed in the morning?
Besides such a thing is easily searched.
Why would you post such a thing?
What’s really going on with you?

Yes.
But be careful not to go back in time too far. Pre 1950 and a helicopter especially a modern one will spook a lot of folks.

The AW 139 with a 4 axis autopilot can maintain hands off hover over target when it is selected. The pilot can trim the height with the collective control.
It is an impressive feature.

I thought this got hashed out in a thread last year.

The salient issue is what this phrase means. It all comes down to what reference point you are using to "stay in place". Normally a helo hovering is using the earth as its reference, they aren't like a car in park they require constant input. So if a pilot is using the earth as the reference it will be over the same spot 1 hour later. If they were to use, for example, 3 stars as reference for the hove they would be over an entirely different spot in an hour.
It all comes down to what the pilot uses for the reference to hover.
Therefore, the OP is not asking such a dumb question after all.

Do you think a plane can fly from NYC to L.A. in less than 4 hours?

Have figured out how much fuel this helicopter has saved at that speed?

If it’s staying in the same place it’s not using any fuel

It's one thing to be the pilot, it's another to be a passenger on an Osprey. Tangential friend that was a jarhead got moved to a second Osprey due to space considerations. The first Osprey crashed and killed everyone. Years later, he's doing the "this is my rifle this is my gun" march in front of his townhouse.

Dunno, but I bet it'd be fun watching him trying to figure out why his watch was off after he landed.

Yes, it would be a time zone over. But understand that the earth’s atmosphere is rotating along with the earth, and to rotate in relative space, which is what you meant, the helicopter would have to fly through our atmosphere at the incredible speed of about 1,000 miles per hour.
Depends on the latitude.
It would be achievable if the helicopter could handle the freezing temps in the area of about 10 degrees Latitude of the North Pole or the South Pole.

Wait, do you think the helicopter has to fly in a certain direction to compensate for the earth’s rotation and that’s how you think it achieves the stationary hover? I’m so confused.

Bro, did you just invent time travel?!?!

This reminds me, how do they tell time at the north and south poles? All the meridians meet at that point so you're in all the time zones at once
