Amazing

“Amazing that for the first time in the FLRAA program Sikorsky-Boeing actually met a schedule.”

Sikorsky and Boeing saved a lot of RFP response time by not having to compile and analyze hundreds of hours of flight testing like Bell had to. Smart move by the Defiant program not to waste time and money in unnecessary flight testing to prove concept viability.
