Is this the US Army next generation superchopper

[Hamartia Antidote]

Honestly I think the engines are so far back it would be difficult to control level flight even with the canards. It's going to be porpoising. The downdraft of the rotors on the canard is going to be an issue too.

Dude, this design is not feasible.

Every Heli requires at least two rotors in order to balance Angular momentum but this alignment of rotors as shown in this Photoshop will cancel out lift along with Angular momentum.

You people would be better off developing V-22 type design.

Dude, it DOES the have twin rotors. Twin rotors have been around forever. And besides, and don't take this the wrong way, but I think the U.S. Army has guys that just may be a tad smarter about this stuff than you....and me. They said the same shit about the F-117.

 

[Screambowl]

That's the way they ALL start out, chief. Who thought the F-117 would fly ?

the two fans on the sides need to change its orientation to keep it hovering.

One thing I really admire about US defence industry is that they are innovative in true sense of the word. The european researchers these days are just following what americans are doing both in science and technological research. Truly inspirational for a scientist and researcher.

Since I am a scientific researcher myself and well aware of americans approach towards research I am sure that the developer of this model know much more beyond these simple laws like angular momentum which some people here are using to look pretty sophisticated.

That's baseless argument... co-axial helis are in service for long time including one in IN..

We're going to wait till Pakistan builds a really cool chopper and buy it from them.

No need to be a dick.

What IF a single anti air weapon takes out 1/6th of the US defence budget in a single go?

How about NO

$100bln is the cost of the program spread across several years - R&D, prototype, testing, factories, spare parts, etc - not the cost of a single unit.

Look around. There's EVERY need to be a dick.

And what would you be shooting at, girlfriend ? Please don't say a single chopper.

The pitch on those blades (both on the co-axial rotors and those one the rear) can be changed to alter speed. Surely, you must know that.

The Kamov company would bang their heads at this.

And this.

ANd lets not forget this

Only If the rotors at the back change the orientation. Using rotors at the top will not help in countering forward motion as the pitch wil hve to be too much, which will effect the hovering.

Interesting gunship version: all weaponry (gun, atgw, rocketpods) retracts into the fuselage.
