In 2004 the RAH 66 Commanche program was cancelled by the US Army citing cost overruns, superseded operational role, and insurmountable technical problems. The funds saved from further development into the Commanche enabled the US Army Aviation to refresh their existing platforms, which was to prove a prudent decision with the continual deployments during the war on terror.

Now, what if the Commanche had a greater number of advocates that were able to save the program. How would the Commanche evolved over time, and would the aircraft have been exported as a way to reduce unit costs? How does the continued development impact upon the remaining rotary winged fleet employed by Army Aviation?
