Cobras are tandem seating. Were as far back as their early days. Also Apache. Also Comanche. So is Invictus.
Though I wonder if the weight of the Raider X might be something to contend with
I think (and am happy to be corrected by those more in-the-know) that Sikorsky / LM are betting the come on the CT-901 engine solving most of their problems.
We'll see how that works out.
