Sikorsky X-97

Any of you boys seen a VORTAC around here?

That looks like an awesome aircraft. I wonder how difficult it will be to scale-up that technology to make a product roughly the size of our current H-60 fleet. While that little thing fits into it's niche well, the Light Tactical Helicopter, I wonder if the DoD is going to want something in the future with that type of performance but can carry more than 6 troops. If nothing else, it serves as a cool idea for where the technology can go.

Sikorsky is claiming it's a fully scalable technology. Considering the original ABC test aircraft was larger than the X-2, it's certainly believable.
