On the last pic it does look as if there is some sort of actual airframe there instead of a CGI so who knows maybe we're in for a surprise next year?
Could be, but then again we have no clue if this is an active project or not but nevertheless it's a very interesting concept and I don't think anyone will complain if its real.
The WZ-100 concept drone:
People at Technical University Delft are developing such a craft without an anti-torque rotor. I have not quite understood how it works, having just read a simple explanation without many details a few years ago. IIRC it concerns the way to pitch of the rotor blades changes through a revolution that provides the lift and counteracts the torque.Lol, I thought the background looked familiar, and sure enough, after about 5 seconds on Google, I found what it was.
The background is a straight rip from a promotional image used for the Battlefield 3 game's expansion, "Aftermath".

Anyway, what's the used for counter rotation on this concept? There's no counter rotating prop, so is it the engines?
