SASless:
Agree on the loading thru the clamshell doors with the rotors turning.
But then again, is this commonly done on the BK-117 / EC-145 with the rotors turning?
Lots of other utility loads that could be loaded that way with the rotors stopped.
But as someone said- they aren't done yet.
I'm just impressed that they actually made a lot of significant design changes from their old models.
Couple of other things I missed in the previous message:
The rotor head looked different from previous ones, part old style, part Bell 430 from first glance.
The pilot and copilot doors and cyclics are actually set up so you don't have to do gyrations getting in.
There is no broom closet or anything else separating the cabin and cockpit.
