I fully agree with this and will also share that the comments above about profiteering using 1960’s technology by current OEM’s is ridiculous and incorrect. The reason Sikorsky commercial, MD and a variety of smaller players have gone bankrupt or closed their commercial divisions in the last few decades is because the regulatory environment is staggeringly bad and deters new technology. None of the aircraft OEM’s is as healthy as most of the primary suppliers like engine and avionics OEM’s. The industry would love to iterate and improve like automotive but the barriers are crushing and shameful by regulators who crush innovation and deter safety enhancements.
