I think there was also a small Canadian built UAV for the US Navy that used
counter rotating coaxial rotors...
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/row/cl-327.htm
But even if not coaxial (ie, CH-47) there doesn't seem to be any any out there
with counter rotating rotors. Maybe they started on one way and given the risk
of aerospace projects, never decided to stray from the usual? Or maybe there's
a limitation we don't know about that type of design?
