Sad
Too bad the original X2 team wasn’t left in charge because it would have continued on to develop the Y variant X2 with 2 engines they envisioned and designed. It was a S76 sized aircraft and would have proved a viable X2 platform for production. But the Army paper chase and government requirements got the program derailed and developing the wrong aircraft. So here we are today near 15 years later and no X2 aircraft flying. Got to love the lack of investment of Lockheed and its inability to invest in itself and be a Commerical company. They destroyed the S76D and the S92 platforms. As for the S92 they did finally field the VH92 and without now no Lockheed commercial S92 market just think the money it will cost to keep that not in production platform flying. Good one Lockheed your making the money and have no Commerical risk but a government contract to keep an VH92 aircraft flying for not millions but now billions.
Please sell Sikorsky to Raytheon and get a President of Sikorsky in place that knows how to build helicopters and innovate without the government seed money to chase BS requirements.
