Literally nobody is calling out the elephant in the room on this tech, Many people in the industry have been saying for years the ABC concept is flawed, doesn't scale, and has immense fundamental issues. If the abject failure of the SB1 demonstrator program and the lack of any real progress with the S97 over half a decade doesn't make that case, its hard to imagine what would. The silence on this outside of aviation forums and defense article comment sections is deafening.
Got some savage comments here, lol.
