Interesting -
All the tufts on the fenestron and the variation between the 2 photos of the size of the endplates on the horizontal indicate that there may be a few "issues".
Maybe they will work out that this is not the best place to put vertical and horizontal surfaces in relation to the fenestron. The 135 has it's little quirks there and look at the evolution.
To me - "The Duke" RAH-66 configuration makes sense - T tail.
To ECD - it probably is because "thats where we always put them."
Like "Topsy" from Uncle Toms Cabin - "I wasn't borned, I just growed!"
FADEC would imply Arriel 2 - goodbye range - bad SFC.
But hey if this was paid for by REGA who have extremely deep pockets - 109K2, 109SP and now this puppy, it won't matter because on a good day you can see from one end of Switzerland to the other end and to get there you will have to pass about 10 rescue helicopters and their fuel facilities! Whats the bet the next time you see this machine is Samedan in CH doing high altitude testing?
As Sid Hudgens said "off the record, on the QT and very hush-hush"
But for the rest of us - nah! Too many Pretzels and Weizen on Fridays for me!
Don't worry folks if this doesn't make sense to you all!
