A video with some shots of the prototype. Bell has gone away from the "fan in fin" tail rotor to a more conventional configuration, supposedly to save weight. This is one of the competitors in the "Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft" effort, the other being Sikorsky.

Another attempt by the Army to replace the old OH-58D Kiowa helo, although this will evidently replace some Apaches in the armed recon role.

As cool as Helos are, defying physics and chance like they do, isn’t this role going to be taken over by drones. Or at the very least, drones are going to make manned slow air extremely spicy to operate?
