Looks kinda uneconomical and wierd!

How's it uneconomical? The USN has probably the most extensive experience in the world on the benefit of SWATH hulls. They've been using them for over 20 years. In fact I don't think any other military has tested them or even had operational vessels.

Entirely a new concept of aircraft. ;)

I figure it is intended as naval counterpart or equivalent to AH64 Apache so the comparison with an aircraft is not unvalid ... It will carry a 20mm gatling and Hellfire missiles after all.

I know it does look good and i am sure it will be a good weapon but it just brings back old memories form the Starwar movie ages. lol no offence it's not the story i am talking(jokeing) about its the design it looks like an Apache and one of those star war attack vehicles which had four legs. I wonder if Lockheed is finally looking at Sci fi for Ideas.

[Red aRRow]

Yeah, they do look like the Star Wars thingies. :D
