No, but thanks for volunteering to be the unofficial PPRuNe Spy! Of course, you should realize that we all expect you to snoop around and see what engine they have on the dynamo. Is the next ship diesel or turbine?

Last rumor I've heard is that the main project is to develop an air conditioning system for the R44 in-house. There is a company in Florida that just got FAA approval for an add-on kit, and that probably puts a burr in Frank's bonnett. They don't like ANY modifications after leaving RHC. I've also heard Frank mention that any "new" ship is at least 3-5 years away. I'm assuming that is because they are focusing on the R44 air conditioning system?
