Interestingly, the TW-68 is being developed by a team of designers formerly employed by Bell Helicopter, the company that (together with BoeingHelicopter) has been readying the V-22.
Designed to complement Boeing's Apache attack helicopter, the lesser-armed Comanche will operate up to four unmanned drones that fly ahead to scout for enemy targets.
The finalization of the helicopter deals with Boeing will be a significant milestone in India-U.S. defense relations and a boost to Boeing's expanding defense business in India.
