These googled pictures are for you to think about designing it, Aaron.

this is going to cost over $100 million a piece and they will be too scared to use it in combat. So why bother?
Look at the F-22. Finally got to drop a few smart bombs in Syria. About 10 years after it could be used. Or look at the Apache helicopter in the former Yugoslavia. The US Army was so cautious that it was not used in combat. Anyhow, based on looks alone, I like it alot. Isaac

Would love to see this one modeled. It has a number of interesting features like the pusher propeller and the contra-rotating main blades. Should make for a great model.

Sorry, but you cant touch it for that
There is no way you can purchase it for $15M. Maybe the exterior minus the engines, avionics, rotors and no tires......
A UH-60 Black hawk costs more than $20M equipped. Look at the F-35. It was formally known as the JSF ( Joint Strike Fighter ). I bet the original quoted price back then was probably less than $20M. How much is it now?.......... Leather seats are the lowest cost items on airplanes. Isaac

Regardless of cost, this thing looks cool. It's begging to be modelled.
Even if it's not bought, it might spur future development and advances in rotorcraft design. Let's face it, there have been few (if any) ground-breaking aviation advances in recent times. Niki |
