this is from a reliable source but don't go blasting it around the internet
Perhaps posting it on a public web forum wasn't the best way to keep it hush-hush?

Anyway, typically how long can something like a new heli be kept under wraps? I'm guessing that one day Frank isn't going to say "right, heres my new helicopter, all tested and certified, any orders?" - are we talking about several years from the official announcement of a new design until delivery of the first machines? Subjective, I know...
