Sikorsky AUSA FARA Press Release

Here it is:

https://news.lockheedmartin.com/2019...380.1545920007

This has X2 all over it and barely mentions the S-97. So this is basically Sikorsky saying forget the 97 with its high drag/low max speed, brutal vibration, and rotors that might chew themselves up in an abrupt maneuver and return to the promise of the (one step above a toy) X-2 for the FARA. Since the picture looks like a 97 but bigger, how is it not going to be even worse in all aspects?
