EDIT: currently broken in the 0.9.999.99999 update, at least on my side. dunno why CoM is just wrong for some reason but its definitely wrong. will update later if i remember doing it

MRH-1 (Multi Role Helicopter model 1) is a twin ducted fan, fly-by-wire, modular VTOL that was intended to be an alternative for the V-280 if ever trials for the SFA fell through. It is a technology demonstrator, meaning various cutting edge tech was implemented during development that lead to its out of the world quality, and of course, the equally out of the world complexity and cost overruns. During development, it had a vision to be as small and capable as a UH-60 while being able to tilt its fans forward, giving a complementary aircraft to the existing V-22 in stock. Complications in the transmission link between the engine and fan severely limited the forward velocity it was capable, being only as fast as the UH-60, before going overbudget.

Since funding became an issue, the MRH-1 was unveiled for a civilian market instead, removing a lot of the classified avionics, and only retaining the bare minimum. Though the bare minimum-ness of the whole system made it basically modular, it lacked the proper avionics to safely operate in a heavily regulated airspace, basically grounding the model, with only the inhouse developed software being the only salvageable kit for future developments such as the smaller, nimbler MRH-2.

... or so as it seems.

Why would they market this particular design? where it only has the bare minimum, basically undetectable from normal radar due to the sharp corners, easily detachable gears, and most striking of all, the stealthy appearance? The extremely quiet Ducted fan system could be the main selling point as it allows closer operations to population centers, but of course someone else also needs that kid of capability. This is no way good for the civilian market right? If they are selling this for anyone to use...

...then what are they up to now?

Controls:
Standard Pitch/Roll/Yaw
Slider 1: Fan Tilt system*
AG1: Autolevel system**
AG2: Doors
AG6: Lights
AG7: Navi Lights
AG10: Engine on/off

*Fan Tilt system: Allows to achieve higher lateral flight speeds. At 100% throttle, You must NOT exceed 75% tilt (assuming safe minimum weight distribution, etc..) to maintain level flight

**Autolevel system: Allows ONLY pitch/roll level (assuming safe minimum weight distribution, etc..). Only intended for reducing Pilot workload in level flight.

DISCLAIMER: IF YOU CLAIM TO SEE THIS AIRCRAFT FLYING IN COMBAT ZONES, THAT IS MOST DEFINITELY A UFO. ALIENS ARE REAL. WE DONT FIELD THIS TO COMBAT ZONES PLEASE TRUST ME
