I’m not very familiar with the helicopter industry, but this platform looks like it might have some great adaptations for civilian use as well.

I’d guess the blade configuration would make metro landings safer and the top speed would be an advantage in areas like aerial rescue and patient transport.

patient transport

Exactly. I watched a life flight chopper drop down between tall Eucalyptus tree branches on the 101 in Encinitas, CA. Incredible flying but sketch.

This would definitely make such landings less risky.
