Come on RJS. Don't use my honest inquiry on the status of the Defiant to try and bait Sultan with Osprey put downs.
No information other than speculation has been presented regarding the Defiants true First Flight date. The S and B team maybe sandbagging to fool Bell into slowly down.
But if Bell actually does beat the Sikorsky and Boeing "Dream Team" to First Flight by a year or more, it will be a real David versus Goliath story.
Maybe in aerospace size does not matter:-)
