A fly by wire tail rotor system does allow for some interesting options for improved stability.
Bell could be onto a good idea, though it could look a bit sexier.
Still, not as fugly as fenestron
Oh, I don't know - I reckon that looks a darn sight more fugly than a fenestron!
Assume you'd still have problems with running out of tail rotor power/authority in certain situations...?
