You both need help!

Twisty, replace the word 'following' and replace with 'overly obsessed with the'...

As for Helothere, I am guessing if someone churned out a version of 609 with a Brantley fuselage it'd make ya happier than a fat kid locked in a chocolate factory :wink:

Is it just me? As sexy as this aircraft is in concept and loooong development cycle. I can't see where they are going to get return on their investment. I got to peek inside the demo they had at Heli Expo and the inside is no bigger than a small jet (the kind you cant even stand upright in). I mean maybe they are going to make upsized versions to compete with a commercial version of the V22, but in it's current size and probably cost, I can't see where they are going to find a huge market for it.
