"Piasecki also had some interesting ideas on rotorcraft unmanned air vehicles for
the US Army's Future Combat Systems, including a modern version of its AirGeep,
but they were cancelled last year."
Yes, the UCAR program was cancelled (UCAR = US Cancelled Another Rotorcraft ),
but I think, reasons weren't mostly in the field of aerodynamics,
or structures, but in the demands for more autonomy of the UAV in comparison with,
say the Predator.
