| I snapped these pics with the cell phone. Its of some UAV test helo here at Ft. Benning. Though a UAV, it does have a cockpit for reasons beyond my scope or concern.
When its out and about it is very quiet. You wont here it coming or going unless you see it first. I have a hat that has the names Kaman and Burro on it. So its any guess what they are calling this thing.

Thanks for sharing the photos Shawn. Kaman is the manufacturer. Burro is the designation for the replenishment UAV project. The airframe is Kaman's K-1200 K-Max. Interestingly enough, Kaman has been working on a UAV of this type now for almost exactly 50 years. They first started the project using one of the direct antecedents to the K-Max. The intermeshing configuration has advantages in stability and payload management.
