IFMU, that video is excellent! Looks like the CX2 was done by someone within Sikorsky. A lot of knowledge about the fuselage details. I wonder whether it was done while X2 funding was a little tight - i know the frustration that can cause. Any inside info CEFOSKEY?
This is the talk given at Heli Expo on X2:

The thing i find amazing is that X2 disc loading is similar to S-76! Hence has a similar autorotation ROD! This for a helicopter which could leave most ground vehicles (including an F1) behind is awesome. Also you can see the rudder hinge lines on the outboard vertical stabilisers for good yaw authority in autorotation. Flight safety has not been compromised for the additional performance.
The horns imply that there is a mechanical connection to the rudder control at least. I have been trying to work out whether the FBW head is hydraulic or brushless DC. I assume the central shafts hold a concentric spider arrangement for the coaxial rotors. This means there would be good access to both swash plates for either actuator. What was Comanche?
I can't wait to see the YouTube video of the real thing.
