In terms of cabin height both platforms are identical (6.0 ft / 1.83 m). 45 is taller than this (as was 44), but since the aircraft's fielding date is 2020 it remains to be seen whether the first CINC flying the VH-92 will have to stoop.
The S-92's cabin is a little shorter that the AW101's (20.0 ft vs 21.3 ft), but the main difference is in cabin width (6.6 ft vs 8.2 ft), driving a 30% difference in cabin volume (700 cu. ft. vs. 970 cu. ft.).
