The 1961- 2020 Hughes / McDonnel Douglas, OH-6 Cayuse, LOACH, MD Defender, Quiet Defender ( UFO ), is of even lower fineness ratio, 2.33:1, for the main fuselage, however the rear rotor boom would greatly improve the 'ride quality.'
They swarm by AeroStealth's at night sometimes. Ya never know they're there until they're THERE ! No lights. Wicked.
