MD900 / 902 good looking? Get serious guys! Like all MD products, they designed the (excellent) mechanical bits first, then fitted the fuselage around it. Unfortunately, they were looking at a dumpster / skip (depends on which side of the pond you live) when they decided upon the shape. Its well known that the Explorer was designed by a commitee of "industry people". Just like the camel. And it shows.

Contrast that with the Bell 222 or the Agusta 109 Power. Design the sexiest shape you can think of, then fit everything else in around it. Then stand back and drool.

No contest.
