Bell Helicopter's 525 Relentless.

Hmmm.

Don't know how I missed this but so did a lot of the aviation big boy news media.

A 16 seat super medium helicopter?  Its obviously designed to battle Sikorsky's S-92 and whatever EADS and Westland have on the market.  Its pretty but I wonder if its enough.  They are right in concentrating on the civilian market.  The Western militaries will be upgrading before they start buying new.  Read about the 525 Relentless here.

On a sidenote this helo reminds me of the 214ST.  I guess evolution is becoming the norm instead of revolution.
