Yup, thast right.
Partner gets full prod rights etc.
Sounds dull, and is, but we need something FCish to be our helicopter instead of the EA-26 and KA-60
Here:
MAH-9
NAME:
FCA MAH-9
TYPE: Multi-purposes medium-lift helicopter.
MANUFACTURER: Taylor Aviation
http://www.emeraldesigns.com/matchup/pics/z9_2.jpg
DESIGN FEATURES
With a four-blade main rotor, two turboshaft engines are mounted side by side on top of the cabin with an air intake on side of motor hump and exhausts at the rear of the hump. The teardrop-shaped body features a tapered boom to the tail fin, a rounded nose and stepped-up cockpit, and retractable gear and flat bottom. The tail flats feature swept-back tips forward of the swept-back and tapered fin with a blunt tip. The rotor is inside a housing at the bottom of the fin. A weapons carrying platform is installed on some models.

VARIANTS
MAH-9: The Muir assembled version, using fiberglass parts.
MAH-9A: Later aircraft in the initial 50, with increased proportion of locally manufactured components.
MAH-9B: Follow-on production version. Modified fenestron with 11 wider-chord, all-composites tail blades instead of 13 all-metal blades as in AS 365N1. This is also the principal variant in service with the FCA, which are specifically configured for communications, artillery direction, electronic warfare, and troop transport (accommodate eight soldiers), and other duties.
