I definitely don't understand the "shared collective" concept. I know Airbus and Cirrus have proven that pilots can fly just fine with their left hand as well as their right, but changing from left hand cyclic with right hand collective when in the left seat seems crazy to me.
I remember how Comanche went to get rid of the collective and pedals altogether (pedals done by twisting the cyclic left/right and collective input was done by pulling up or pushing down on the cyclic) and all pilots that flew the sim said "give me a real collective back" so they did with prototypes 2 and 3.
Also, what's up with the tiny side windows, tiny chin bubble, and no greenhouse? Isn't this supposed to be the next "scout" aircraft? If a V-22 and a C-130 can have a BIG chin bubble and fly at 200kts, surely the Raider can have one as well. Especially if it's going to have seats to insert/extract troops. Come on Sikorsky... |
