http://www.digikitten.com/playhousev2/files/pixelmonkey/waspkl602.jpg
discounts for nations which have less then 100 mil pop.
Configuration:
it has a Vectored Thrust Ducted Propeller
it is capable of faster cruise speeds, longer range, superior maneuverability and reduced costs then other Helicopters, The KL-60 "Wasp" achieves these goals by adding wings and a tail-mounted ducted propeller.
One of the most important, is lower operating costs. By lowering fatigue loads and vibration levels, the technology can reduce costs and extend the life of parts of the kl-60 "Wasp".
the VTDP design augments the aircraft's KL-60 "Wasp" lift, combating retreating blade stall by unloading the main rotor system as the burden of lift is transferred to the wing. In addition to the stability conferred by the fixed wing, the aircraft reaches greater speeds because of auxiliary propulsion provided by the tail-mounted VTDP, commonly referred to as the "ringtail." The combination of the VTDP and a lifting wing provides for increased speed , as well as greater maneuverability and reduced vibration and fatigue loads.
Other:
It is intended for a wide range of combat tasks in daytime and night conditions, in any time of the year with the use of all destruction means of the KL-60 "Wasp". This is a commander helicopter of the army aviation aimed at increasing the efficiency of group combat helicopter operations.
Both pilots have full controls of the helicopter without any limitations. The pilot cockpit is armored. The helicopter can be used as a trainer. High flying qualities of the coaxial helicopter combined with unique manoeuvrability allow the helicopter to perform combat maneuvers within the minimum air area and the shortest time to gain an advantageous attack position.
Numerous weapons options for the KL-60 "Wasp" helicopter are achieved by arranging a movable high-speed firing gun starboard of the helicopter, and by six available external wing stores with different combination of anti-tank missiles, rockets, "air-to-air" missiles, gun ammunition of a container type and bombs of various caliber. From the point of view of the weapons power the "Wasp" is comparable with the "Sabre" helicopter and is superior to all existing combat helicopters.
The on-board multifunctional avionics suite ensures round-the-clock helicopter piloting, navigational and combat tasks in anytime of the year. The avionics suite is comprised of a multiplexed, multi-level digital computer-based system having large storage capacity and high speed.

KL-65 "Scout" next generation armed reconnaissance helicopter [also with Vectored thrust]
Cost: 11 million
http://www.military.cz/usa/air/air_accessories/vtdp/ah-64_vtdp.jpg
it has an auxiliary propulsion system to provide additional thrust—beyond the thrust already produced by the rotors. The extra thrust helps unload the rotor in forward flight and increase forward speeds.
The tail-mounted ducted propeller, called the ring-tail, provides auxiliary thrust and control in forward flight, While a conventional helicopter gets all its lift and propulsion out of the main rotor, this tail helps to unload the main rotor from its propulsion responsibilities, because it can provide forward thrust, whereas the conventional tail rotor can’t.
The KL-65 "Scout" helicopter's primary role will be to seek out enemy forces and designate targets for the KL-60 and kl-55 Attack helicopters at night, in adverse weather, and in battlefield obscurants, using advanced infrared sensors. The helmet has FLIR images and overlaid symbology that can be used as a headup display in nape-of-the-earth (NOE) flight.
The aircraft has been designed to emit a low-radar signature (stealth features). The KL-65 "Scout" will perform the attack mission itself for the Army's light divisions. The KL-65 "Scout" will be used as a scout and attack helicopter to include an air-to-ground and air-to-air combat capability. The KL-65 "Scout" is slated to replace the mi-28 Series attack helicopter.
The KL-65 "Scout" mission equipment package consists of a turret-mounted cannon, night-vision pilotage system, helmet-mounted display, electro-optical target acquisition and designation system, aided target recognition, and integrated communication/navigation/identification avionics system. Targeting includes a second generation forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensor, a low-light-level television, a laser range finder and designator, and the "Wasp" millimeter wave radar system. Digital sensors, computers and software will enable the aircraft to track and recognize advesarys long before they are aware of the KL-65 "Scout"'s presence, a key advantage in both the reconnaissance and attack roles.
Aided target detection and classification software will automatically scan the battlefield, identifying and prioritizing targets. The target acquisition and communications system will allow burst transmissions of data to other aircraft and command and control systems. Digital communications links will enable the crew unparalleled situational awareness, making the KL-65 "Scout" an integral component of the digital battlefield.
The armament subsystems consist of a 20mm cannon, and up to 14 Hellfire anti-tank missiles, 28 Air-to-Air anti-aircraft missiles, or 56 2.75 inch Hydra 70 air-to-ground rockets carried internally and externally. Up to four anti-tank and two Air-to-Air missiles can be stowed in fully-retractable weapons bays and the gun can be rotated to a stowed position when not in use. This design feature reduces both drag and radar signature.
Mission management, status, and control information is provided over the MIL-STD-1553B databus between the mission equipment packages and the Turreted Gun System. The KL-65 "Scout" will have enhanced maintainability through it's modular electronics architecture and built-in diagnostics.
