You can adjust power to weight ratios, lift scales (power)^2/3 * (area)^1/3, 
but you probably want lower power levels to cut down on turbulence. You could 
put a cowling over the main flight deck, but then you don't look like a proper 
helicarrier.

You just need enough air headed downwards, well enough balanced that you don't 
flip over.
