Company (2) of the week. AVX.

This is a repeat of sorts but I'm really cheering for these guys and hope that their concept gets a fair hearing.  I seriously doubt it with all the success of the Piasecki Speed Hawk and it struggling for financing but the AVX OH-58D is just a great looking bit of kit.

If anyone knows where they're at in the conversion process, please send an e-mail or note my way...

    This would make so much sense as the new light RAH it would be almost criminal to reject it.

    Wow, interesting. Curious as to why the aft fans do not counter-rotate too. Anyone?

    B.Bolsøy:
    IMHO There really is no need for the tail fans to counter-rotate, the counter moment from the tail fans are probably negliable compared with the imbalances from the main rotor, and with them rotating in the same direction you reduce part count thus lowering the cost.
