Just imagine this thing fitted out with an M230, FLIR/TV optics, and a nicely contoured radar on the mast, and maybe some fold-out weapon pylons that can carry either a full load of Hellfires, FFARs,...

I'm pretty sure that making an electrically driven helicopter with a turbine would make a lot of sense, seeing as how it's a lot more reliable and definitely less finicky then a gearbox. Lithium...

Well, if they can find a way to keep vibration down, then it's all good.

Servo flaps, anyone?

Well a faster helicopter would be better for everything. As transport in general, attack, recon, etc.

Also, the AH-59 would be a nice thing to think about...

TBH, I don't think that the X2 would really quite fit in the recon role like the Commanche. It should be able to do recon, but should also be able to fulfill CAS and anti-armor roles effectively.

Well, if they find that hover performance is decreased significantly and it does more bad then good, yes it's a bad idea and it's fine not to use it.

I guess I'm just thinking about the helo as...
