The argument for Blackhawk was a valid one in the eighties. However the limited headroom due to compatability with transporting it by C130 is no longer valid when air forces including our own have C17. With any luck a better designed battlefield helicopter (with a tail wheel) will appear in the next decade. NH90 is a good looking helicopter, but what we really need is a grandson to the Wessex that can stop whilst airborne quickly and be ran onto roughish terrain. One that has two cabin doors and seats around the cabin to free up floor space in between the seats for kit. Such a helicopter is yet to see the light of day and it is not Blackhawk.
