Thanks, Chris. With reference to your conversation with Chuck, I read
that the size and basic dimensions were dictated by a stated requirement
that, with some disassembly, the craft could be transported in a C-130.
Maybe ChrisT will add to the story.

As I approached the airport today, I saw two helicopters on approach. I
assumed they were on a training flight from Fort Campbell, KY. As I watched
the first two shut down on the ramp, another flight of two landed. I spoke
with one of the pilots, who said these were the newest aircraft in the Army
fleet, on their way from the factory to a base in Texas. The ferry crews were
all Army personnel.
Here are the four, lined up for refueling.

And, yes, the line girl was in charge of the fueling, though she had a helper.
She always does a great job.
