So what if this design has been around for a long time now? This story is about Sikorsky's application of it.
Why do people feel the need to make comments as if they have some big revelation? And just because someone else came out with this design years ago doesn't mean nobody can ever use it on future aircraft.
I swear, some people act like this is a big deal when manufacturers use old designs in new ships all the time.
@owensjs2 Yes I am surprised not many people appear to know what you have stated. Kamov have been building Co-axials since the late 1940's, Latest models are the Ka-50 and Ka-52.
This craft is not a prototype of a future helicopter. It was used for research and development so the emerging technology could be use on future Sikorskys. I worked for them and I've seen this ship in person. There is a ship which closely resembles this one but the bulk of the technology that will come out of this research will be used on most of the Sikorskys S76, S92, and Blackhawks. It is the fastest helicopter to date though.

@jonnyasprin
the materials used to build this thing is not affordable. Blades are insanely expensive and it must have fly by wire also.
Dont think you will ever see a helicopter with this technology for less than 5million bucks.
