We keep hearing about the lack of helicopters for the war in Afganistan. Isn’t this due to us developing costly and time consuming choppers like the Merlin.
So shouldn’t we develop a low tech chopper, a T34 for the skies if you like. Rugged enougth to do the job but cheap enougth to reproduce in large quantities?
