looks like a glamour shot with the hub fairing on.


Also some coment on the attack varient mock up. Why not have an integrated flir to reduce drag instead of the nose ball? Why have the cockpit as a complete bubble? It would seem that integrating the rear of the cockpit into the fuse would make better sense. Why have the exhaust coming out of two flaring cones? I would think that an internal vent like the Comanche had would be better. Also the tail boom could be styled to flow tapering from the rotor hub down to the tail prop. Overall the concept drawing looks cool but feels more like a franken drawing of stealth fighter jet mated to a bell cobra with x2 mechanics.
