I received the lovely charm pack at the top from Amy from Allie Kate Mom, and I got the other's from my LQS. I am going to make this quilt from it :)

The K-MAX relies on the two primary advantages of synchropters over conventional helicopters. The first of these is the most efficient of any rotor-lift technology; the other is the synchropter's natural tendency to hover. This increases stability, especially for precision work in placing suspended loads. At the same time, the synchropter is more responsive to pilot control inputs, making it possible to easily swing a load thus to scatter seed, chemicals, or water over a larger area. The K-max had an unusual inter-meshing contra-rotating twin-rotor arrangement with control effected by servo-flaps.
An unmanned prototype was shown in 2008 for potential military heavy-lift resupply use, and again in 2010. In December 2010 NAVAIR awarded a $46 million contract to Kaman for two aircraft.
