Re: Bell 525 Relentless
I love seeing what technology brings to the game. The features of the arc horizon flight deck "seem" pretty intuitive, and to me feel like they belong on a new piece of kit.
Any full time sling wing guys think there'd be many problems adjusting to the cyclic control moved to the right side?

Re: Bell 525 Relentless
Well,
Looks just like everything else. Aircraft have become like automobiles, essentially boring in design, and trying to be "catch all" concepts. Rarely do we see a purpose built machine anymore.
Enough technology packed in there to effectively occupy the pilot, and reduce the need for hands and feet skills or airmanship, which has become a rather well documented problem in both civilian and military flt ops the world over. I have to wonder why they keep driving at these concepts... well, I don't. Lol
Anyway, very big, very expensive, and you won't see many in Canada, and certainly none out in the bushes fighting fires.
