  • “It would be fine so long as it used Kamov type double main prop. Like in this picture. The reason it isn't very popular is just that it's simpler to build and easier to control with the classic configuration.”

  • “There's advantages and disadvantages to this design. Part of the reason why two groups submitted two different designs to replace the US Army UH-60 Blackhawk. For one example, from a speed and maneuverability standpoint, the MV-75 Cheyenne II, what was selected for the replacement, is much faster than the SB-1 Defiant. Where the SB-1 Defiant is superior is low speed maneuverability.”
