We need long range. So helo is out and turboprop would take too long.
Noted, Mutt, on the emergency exit option; but presumably there's a difference between an emergency egress point for use when all else fails, and a FAA certification of a hatch that can be opened in flight, then closed again for a return to altitude?
Also I guess heaving heavy bags out of the door could damage door seals?
It's pretty arcane, I know. Once I've established the variant that's in the frame I will drop G/stream tech dept a line. Kind of hope to get this show on the road in the next few days...
