In addition, what exactly is polarization?

(about 150 lbs for the human, itself (lets just assume the copter was 200 lbs, so 350 lbs total), and if it had a 10 foot wing span? (So, how many RPM would 10 feet of helicopter blade-span need to lift 350 lbs).  (I know you would need to know how efficient the blades were at pushing against air, I just want to know the RPM it would need if it had an average efficiency.

Thank you for your time. I am a senior in the IB program at Palm Harbor University High School, FL, and I am interested in pursuing a degree in aeronautical engineering. I am considering going overseas to the UK to pursue a degree, as that is my home country, but it might get a bit expensive, as I am not sure if I can get home fees, and might have to pay International fees, furthermore, I might not be able to get a student loan.
On that note, I thought about staying in Florida for my degree, so that I can take advantage of Bright Futures, and get a full ride. However, Bright Futures only pays for certain colleges, and they have a list of colleges that they cover in Florida at this link: https://www.floridastudentfinancialaidsg.org/admin/SAWAllELIGPSI.asp
Do you have any recommendations? I am currently thinking about applying to UF and Embry Riddle of Daytona.
I appreciate all your help!
Jonathan
