Interesting indeed.
For years Alliison / Rolls have had the Bell light single market to themselves because of the lack of tail rotor drive from the transmission. Someone is stepping up to the plate with an engine that incorporates the same drive system as the 250 series uses.
I wonder how long it will be before there is a retrofit for the older engines - breathing new life into the 206 line....
