After many incremental updates the Dauphin helicopter finally got a real successor in the 2010s, when Eurocopter announced the X4 design, that would eventually become the Airbus H160. While the H160 retained the basic appearance of the Dauphin, it has many typical features. First there is the side view silhouette, in particular the front. From the nose over the cockpit windows and the gearbox/engine housing to the rotor head is almost a straight line. The transition from cockpit front to side windows is quite sharp. The H160 has a main rotor has five blades with double swept tips: they look like sickles. Another first on the H160 is the canted shrouded tail rotor (fenestron). The same applies to the biplane horizontal stabilisers, that are connected at the tips. All-in-all, these characteristics make the H160 stand out from other helicopters.
