It will be interesting to see how the OEM’s design teams react to the 901, bringing a 100% increase in SHP from their original power plants. Beyond the hot/high envelope obvious gains, I’d look for the OEM’s to upgrade the drive trains and rotors to take full advantage of the new engines. Actually, it would be surprising if they both don’t have preliminary designs for these areas already in place, and have had them for awhile!
