In case anyone is wondering, the H242 Siouxper Swift is a compound helicopter descended from the AH-56 Cheyenne. However, the Souixper Swift uses a NOTAR duct to counteract torque at low speed, and the airflow can be diverted to an Unducted Fan acting as a pusher for high speeds. Because of their speed and range they're in competition with tiltrotor designs in 2066. They're somewhat more maneuverable than tiltrotors, but slightly more expensive. Most commonly seen in a law enforcement role or military. And only rarely do their pilots wear blue tights, red capes and go around calling themselves SouixperBear.
