Do you include Borgman in that group? I can PM you if this discussion is getting too sensitive?
it was a miracle that the UH60 production program more or less recovered from their fixes, though at a cost to the profitability which led to UTC selling the division.
Without those two wars spinning up, I wonder at how that might have otherwise played out.
Sikorsky spent their money on X2. It was all IR&D.
Thanks, that's what I had heard, and I think I had read a post from you a (long) while back covering that bit.
