The Red Bull BÖ-105 definitely does aerobics. I love that rigid system. I do have to say, however, the bearingless main rotor design of the EC-135 is very nice. They was working on a five bladed version of the 135’s bearingless main rotor for the newest version of the H-145, that has a fenestron like the 135, and the uneven number of 5 MR blades would have made it a lot smoother, less vibration in certain conditions. If I had been Airbus, I would have adapted the new Blue Edge blades from the H-160, and put them on the new 145, and the Blue Edge fenestron blades too, but so far that hasn’t happened yet. That H-160 is a nice one, but big money. A fenestron style TR would look great on the Bell 429. They had to cut some of the vertical fin out to get enough air to that four bladed tail rotor, why not just go with some kind of ducted fan design and make the aircraft a bit safer?
