Has anybody read anything on the "PATS" system that is supposedly going to revolutionise the new line of Bell products? All I know is that it apparently provides rearwards thrust in forward flight when reduced anti torque thrust is required, I used to work for a Bell OEM and this is all I could get out of them, I believe that it might still be just an unproven concept at this stage.
