Also, check out the link to the 'Bring your heli with you anywhere' in the section "If you like this, you'll also be interested in...."

Really cool personnel heli, I don't see how much it would sell for, does anybody know?

I wish I could fly 24/7

Looks like a concept , interested to see if it makes it to production.

There is more to "design" than just whipping up a rendering of a 3D model. When I see the prototype flying I'll decide if this is a good design or not.

Just off the cuff, the rotor blades look too short to be effective (especially for autos), there are all kinds of blind spots from the pilot's perspective and the "land on the tail" idea isn't too bright for a heli with an exposed tail rotor.

It's cool from a gaming standpoint, but not very realistic from a design standpoint.

I agree that the main and tail rotor diameters seem out of whack. A three bladed, fully articulated rotor system will be very expensive to produce, not to mention the horrible autorotational characteristics. The field of view is severely restricted - I'd hate to shoot an approach to a confined area at night with it. Lastly, it has neither skids not wheels, so a running landing with a tail rotor malfunction is not feasible.

It should probably stay a design concept. It looks kind of cool, in a "Tron" sort of way.
