Would be interesting to see the civilian uses of such a chopper. High-speed air ambulance, exec transport, etc. I imagine the Coast Guard must be keeping a close watch on this.

High speed ambulance made me smile a bit Niki. You probably won't believe it, but do you realise that all UK Air Ambulances are TOTALLY funded by a charity. Government funds .. zilch! But their crews are NHS trained and paid
And even more unbelievable ... British Life-boats are totally funded the same way, but Life-boat crews are unpaid volunteers.
All those curves could make the S-97 a challenging paper model though.
Keep on snippin' ... Johnny.
