A new picture from airliners.net, taken by a wandering photographer (I presume) at the back of the Scaled Composites hangar.
For those unfamiliar, Scaled Composites launched the first civilian manned craft into space and thereby won the x-prize.
This helicopter is unknown, on airliners.net it was described as such.



What are they they planning to do with this helicopter? First helicopter to space?  ;D
Looks awesome though.

My guess is it may be on a cinema screen at some point...

Doesn't look like that door fits too well.

I don't know, I would agree with Charlie, although Scaled Composites have built a prototype CAS aircraft for the airforce, but it never went anywhere, so it could be some prototype, don't know why they would use something so ugly in a movie.

Nothing on Scaled website either...

Its actually the next generation of the LBUH to replace the Lynx, Ahem, sorry but a boy can dream

That's the helo from the "Ahnold" movie "The Sixth Day".

movie review with pic of the chopper if you scroll down.

Why would Scaled have a C150 sitting on the other side of their hanger? My guess is that it's a movie prop sitting at an airport nowhere near Mojave.

Me thinks that thing dont fly.  Definately a movie prop.  Also, scaled would make it smoother and curvier.

Dont know but considering its on airliners.net.... I dont know...

It is most definatly the helicopter from "The Sixth Day", the movie is on tnt right now.
