But it ain't that complex, helicopters with anti-rotors, and coaxial helicopters have existed for a very long time at this point. We are at a point with improved manufacturing and maturity of both of these concepts that it's very feasible to combine the two methods and have a reliable, improved, practical design. We could have said the same thing about the osprey and chinook.

@AvWoN

@@sonny9608 are you joking or just really fkin dumb? Most of our current military hardware has been designed during the cold war or just after. For example the chinook 1962, Blackhawk in 1979, Apache in 1986. Thats like pre most of modern computer era. You don't think we made massive manufacturing and technologicsl strides? We are able to design way more complex parts with 3D software, while machining has stayed largely the same, there are still many improvements that have been made with things like CNC machining and what not, everyting has become more precise and faster. Prototyping is also incredibly easy nowadays. Electronics and computers have also miniaturised greatly while being many folds more powerful and capable. Entire rooms of computer from that time are many times less powerful than a modern smartphone. Sensors have also become a lot better which allows us to do more things with them. There are just too many potential improvements to list that came after all these iconic 1990 military vehicles. Basically they can and probably are implementing many novel ideas and building on old ones to create a reliable new generation of helicopter from better designs to materials and tech. Also the second sentence makes perfect sense, im saying that the concept of coaxial rotors and a tail rotor have existed for so long now that, while looking cool and sleek, this heli is really just doing something we have already figured out for many decades now, the only thing new here is a novel arrangement of the two and improved body design. Let's not pretend this is some sort of UFO, all this is familiar territory.

The prop pitch can be reversed to act as a brake to avoid using the main rotors...beneficial for low level when you don't want to drop the tail into terrain. And if in a tactical situation, maybe the pilot wants to keep the pusher prop going for fast egress. There's probably scenarios for both instances.

How do you auto rotation this aircraft ?

God! It must hve a tear rotor that can turn right & left for NOW but 1 day off a bit the rear push prop will be not shaft driven but free full tilt pod up & down as well. It is the precise control that helos can claim, plus the added security of completely diff power plant w/full push up down side to side safety requires.
