Did the fairings on the S-97 work out as expected? The 97 is 50+ knots short of design speed not due to its horrendous vibration, but because of drag. As referenced elsewhere Sikorsky was back in the wind tunnel this year trying to come up with a solution. As the SB-1 fairings look even worse than the 97 it appears that testing was a bust. Will be surprised if they make it much past 200 knots, which is now 80 knots short of the new minimum cruise for the FLRAA.
