Still, I wouldn't hold my breath on seeing an X3 configuration troop helo. The big problem is ... where's the buyers? The US Army just closed out its competition and other than the US Army, who is looking to buy a bunch of high performance military troop helos?
Uhh ... no one? So that's why RACER is a civilian chopper.
Maybe a Dauphin based X3 type helo could be useful for some navies, but the "problem" is that the Dauphins they have are pretty good already.
