Looks similar to the Russian Ka-50 Blackshark/Werewolf.

First flight was a simple hover, with no power to the pusher propeller.

Cool... How does it turn around when at a static hover? torque convertors on the counter rotating hubs? Asymmetric pitch in the tail rotor? Or can it only turn when flying forward like a plane?

100 miles faster than the Blackhawk....wow

New aviation technologies developed since the UH-60’s introduction ...
Like the counter-rotating rotors of the 40+ year-old Kamov, or the pusher prop from the cancelled 1967 AH-56 Cheyenne?

Nice post - have done nothing but rotorcraft for nearly 40 years.
At 287 miles an hour - more than a hundred mph faster than the UH-60M - this will change the nature of helicopters for ever.

But it doesn’t look anywhere near as menacing as the Blackhawk. I dunno, maybe paint some shark teeth on its front or something. lol.

No tail rotor required with counter-rotating top rotors.
Nice propeller boost in the rear.
250 knots?

a solution in search of a problem... overly complicated and overly large for very little if no gain to a problem that doesn't exist
