That looks EXACTLY like it came directly from this site!

Come on, own up, who was it sent their brainstorms off to Seattle then?  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Kinda ironic as the US army is planning on to replace their OH-58D's with the possible replacement being the S-97 Raider being developed by Sikorsky.(Apparently, the helicopter builders are starting to design new helicopters with the new "pusher" prop configuration as they "think" the military wants a piority on speed for their next generation helicopters).
