McDonnell Douglas / Bell LHX
Fictional profiles of an unbuilt aircraft.
This was a fun series of profiles to create. I always thought this version of the LHX looked so futuristic. I'm sure if it had been built, it would not have looked as sleek in real life. I added some real-life details from the actual LHX program winner, the RAH-66 Comanche (which ultimately was cancelled and not put into production). I like the gradient I used for the canopy glass, at least on the LHX. For the LHX-U, I only created a side profile (I'm not sure if drawings even exist for the other views). It was fun to create the special operations version, with all of the real-world additions. I made a profile of the LHX-U for just about every country in the world.
