One thing the Bell 360 does not have going for it is the fact it can't carry anyone. Neither could the OH-58 (well in a pinch). The Karem, AVX, and Sikorsky Raider (and possibly the Boeing XX-XX) all have what seem to be a 3-4 person cabin, but then again they use more advanced/expensive/intricate propulsion methods than the conventional-like tandem-seat B360. It makes you wonder if there will be a program to replace the MH-6 troop lifter... since FARA is to (more or less) replace the OH-58D.
