This is a really cool looking helicopter, especially for Bell. I can't remember if I've ever seen another bell helicopter with a Fenestron tail or not, but I've always thought they look way more sleek than a conventional tail rotor. Usually Eurocopter was the main manufacturer that uses the Fenestron tail. Exciting stuff.

Thats really interesting cause it makes it a lot different front a standard helicopter. Where the cyclic is between your legs. I wonder if there's a learning curve for newer pilots or if they pick it up quickly. I love the design of the cockpit. I also have seen the sensors allow you to see thru the cockpit so which is interesting. My question is will that be integrated into a helmet or if the visor looking things were what the pilots would wear

Sikorsky has the S-97 Raider compete with the Bell+Textron 360 Invictus in the AAS / FARA (armed scout) program. Meanwhile, the Sikorsky+Boeing SB-1 Defiant competes with the Bell+Lockheed V280 Valor for the FVL (long-range lift) program. Given how the US defense industry works, it is likely that both companies get one contract each, to keep every factory running, everybody employed. So if you like both Sikorsky or both Bell designs, get ready for a disappointment. The Raider has troop capacity while the Invictus does not, but that gives the Invictus better stealth properties, just like the Boeing-Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche had. Not sure why they abandoned that design. Just to push a common scout and transport design when they know it's not very likely they'll get both contracts? The V280 seems to be the more mature design, faster and longer range. But the SB-1 might offer better handling and safety, as it is not a tilt rotor. And it's smaller, closer to the Blackhawk size. This might really go both ways.
