Say what you will about Frank Robinson, there are successful engineers who build successful helicopter companies. Oh yes, also, Sikorsky, Enstrom, Hiller, Piaseki, Kaman and Bell ( although he wasn't so much a fan of his helicopter program in the begining). The founders of Airbus, of course there were several and several companies conglomerated, were essentially all engineers. This helicopter may turn out to be fluff or may be what you will be flying in 6 years but only time will tell if they are successful. The old saying that at some point you have to shoot the engineers and go fly the aircraft isn't really realistic.
