I hope they are ready for some downwash with these small diameter props....
I can see this work as a strategic/ slight tactical transport, however how it should replace the Blackhawk and Apache in the real tactical role, requiring very low level manoevering, quick stops, fast insertions and extractions..... well let's just say I am curious how it performs in this part of the flight envelope.... that it can fly far and fast is nice, but is only a part of the required performance I guess.
