Mike,
You had passed around an item on Advanced Blade contract for the VH-92.  Design was to enhance higher altitude ops and probably faster  cruise as well.

If you note on this advanced model for NATO, these are advanced design blades.   No longer same shape for whole length and only tips larger and angles. Variations in width and shape,   The artist's  model doesn't show much technically, but indicates that advanced modeling is to be included in new aircraft!

Looks like the design is continuing the "Flattened" profile fuselage, so likely would also work for ship-borne forces......maybe...
