Well... it's not the worlds fastest helicopter until they actually build and fly it.
Definitely an interesting concept. The whole "main rotor to zero pitch" just to make it into an airplane for higher speeds makes me quite leery of the concept overall.
Plus, it looks like a 2-man 'copter, kinda limiting for the "military missions" it's designed for. Maybe an exfiltration of a single person, but how often does only one person need to be removed from a situation. Or am I just undersizing the 3D renderings? Who knows, but with the issues with current planes, companies have forgotten the law of KISS.
I like the concept, my Dads side are all Pilots and builders as am I. Always had a soft spot for rotor craft, Thanks for posting Brenn Gun.
