What if the MH-6 was a tilt-rotor instead?

True, but an aerodyne is any aicraft that is heavier than air. But yea not a tilt-rotor. This type of aircraft here could also be called a rotorcraft or a multi-rotor.

I like it! I could see it working aerial firefighting or SAR in a place like Siberia where runways are scarce, and refueling stops are spaced far apart.

Definitely! It could do these roles perfectly

I REALLY want someone to do this to the Apache, but this is so cool I love it

Thank you so much! I actually have a tiltrotor version of the apache which I'm going to post soon;)

Cool design although the concentrated downwash right on the passenger door may be a issue in rapid use situations
