Just two helicopters that I've got requested.

One is an intermeshing Chinook/Sea King hybrid and the other is an intermeshing AH-1 Viper with elements of the AH-56 Cheyenne.

The design of the rotors are highly questionable.

It's called 'intermeshing rotors', and surprisingly they're far more effective than you would think. The K-MAX uses this rotor arrangement and can lift itself in an undersling. That's how capable it can get.

Even for intermeshing rotors they look a bit wonky, though(it looks like the rotor axii aren't inclined enough to intermesh). Seems to be a perspective thing, however.

Well, I asked the artist when I first received them about that, it was a combination of perspective and that it was his very first designs using such a rotor system. The thing is almost no one outside of the hardcore helicopter community and a (comparative) handful of US Army pilots knew such a rotor system existed. Everyone has heard of Coaxial Rotors and what not but practically no one other than history buffs, military pilots, and hardcore helicopter watchers even know of the intermesh...

As for Artwork...

Yeah it's Power Ranger's but it's awesome!

All military parades are cool. Russia's just turned propaganda into a fine art. Like their propaganda mustic, the anthems and the other military music, astonishing stuff. It's unfortunate we don't do similar things, but the climate has just never been quite right to celebrate American martial might in public like that.

Most of our patriotic music is from Susa and a variations of war anthems, and our cadences. We aren't really into parades to show off our equipment, as we like to have our enemies find out when we let them, and not show things we don't have ready.
