LM/Sikorsky
- F-35 cost and reliability.

- CH-148 Cyclone (Years behind schedule and $ billion or so overrun)
- CH-53K (Ditto)
- FLRAA demo program
Wasn't Comanche a joint S/B project? As to LCS, a lot of Naval professionals were unimpressed by it at its debut ... but that's not on topic so I'll not pursue that further.
