Canberra wants to replace the Tiger with a lighter helicopter for commandos that can fit inside a C-17 transport plane

This what they need....now pay attention 007

I love the picture of Q. I always found it curious that people who wear shorts that hang to just above the knee with socks pulled up to just below the knee, will look at people with unpatched holes in the knees of their jeans and call them slovenly. People with holes in the knees of their jeans will look at the low shorts/high socks people and call them dorky. In fact, both styles essentially serve the same function.

A 2 seat autogyro with 60-100hp would be ideal... you could use Rotax power located at the CG point driving a prop directly and a pre-rotator for the rotor either hydraulically or electrically.. there is a large 4 seat autogyro that was used as security at a recent Olympics that was (I believe) turbine powered.. it could hop up in under 10 feet with pre-rotate.
