onetrack Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I note there's no timeline of its development and introduction? It could be another 15 years away, before all the "bugs" are sorted out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thruster88 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Looks like a coaxial helicopter with an eight blade propeller from the red herring company at the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensive weapons are evolving so fast your new toy could be a cooked goose. Just look at how many advanced attack helicopters the Russians have lost in the last two months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite example of that was the Avro Vulcan (a beautiful looking aircraft). It was designed to fly high and (relatively) slow, on the basis that it was too high to be shot down. Then, not long after it was introduced, Gary Power’s U2 was shot down over the USSR, and the Vulcan became obsolete overnight. The only service it ever saw was one bombing run on the Falklands/Malvinas. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
