Side on view.
What a waste of time and money. They should concentrate on "now" and "here" and build some decent helicopter for the presence.

Here are my photos of the FCX001 unveiled on Tuesday at HAI. I did try both passenger and single pilot VR

Ah, yes, the only thing Bell is really good at over the last few decades - making concepts!
And of course, when/if it ever comes out, it'll be nothing like this.
It'll be underpowered, unpractical, uncategorized, and ugly.

Word is the concept was put on the floor to draw conversation, especially to draw it away from the 525. And it seemed to have worked. No engineers said the concepts were being seriously considered.
