This is an AWESOME design!

It is perfect in that it will have the lack of a RPG magnet (Tail Rotor) And it will be FAST! which is perfect in an age where conflicts can be won or lost in a matter of minutes.

I like how small it is. Granted this will mean it wont have the punch of an Apache. But it surely will have enough to keep the enemy busy until more support arrives.

But if you know how I have been talking lately you know the real reason why I want it small. PERFECT UAV material! Rip out the human control parts and improve its computer and these things can be made in an assembly line and fit into packages ready to be shipped anywhere in the world to deploy fast!

Will be half a decade before this gets into the hands of pilots for military use surely. However, I am glad to see that we are getting serious about hovering craft that do not cost many many millions.
