(Old wording is good. It wasn't scaled down, it was changed into a smaller class helicopter, context again.)

The Cargobob's fuselage is most reminiscent of a [[wp:CH-47 Chinook|CH-47 Chinook]], with its bulging fuel tanks, engine, cockpit/nose design, and rear loading ramp.  It is, however, scaled down somewhat, and the configuration of its rear is similar to a [[wp:Sikorsky S-92|Sikorsky S-92]]. The [[wp:Fenestron|Fenestron]] tail rotor seen on the Cargobob would most likely not be employed in an aircraft of this size, due to its performance limitations compared to a conventional tail rotor.
