Nah, all you need is a graphics artist, a model builder and a
PR writer.
Sounds like the PSV (
Perspectivny Skorostnoy Vertolyot, Advanced High-Speed Helicopter) program, funding for which was announced in
May. Commonly associated with Russian Helicopters'
Russian Advanced Commercial Helicopter (RACHEL) concept, which
may or may not draw on the previous Ka-92 and Mi-X1 proposals.
The PSV effort, launched in
2008, is 'only' targeting a cruise speed of
450 km/h, so it's slow by the standards of Kamov's manic 700 km/h
Ka-90 folding-rotor concept.
