AstraRossa's helicopter designs

[Stargazer]

A Russian company by the name AstraRossa has released photos of an unusually-configured convertiplane, sort of a mix between an Ercoupe and a Eurocopter X3!


Their website also presents various helicopter designs that make me thing more of the kind of artwork student designers produce during their syllabus than real industry projects. In fact, their whole website makes me think it is little more than a design center. Have they produced any actual hardware of any kind?


Their website seems to indicate some involvement in the design of the Kamov Ka-62.

Any thoughts/background info would be appreciated...
