The H-92 carries more, goes farther, and goes faster than the EH-101/Cormorant/Merlin.
You are still not comparing bananas with bananas!!!

Its more like comparing a proven aircraft with a pre-production one. Two totally different aircraft after the same role.

You yourself are touting an unproven aircraft. The US101 is not a proven aircraft but its still got a proven airframe to comment on. The US101 is in the same boat as you. You are comparing the Merlin Mk3/ RN variant with yours. Its like comparing the Blackhawk with a Merlin, which will look better? How many improvements in the Blackhawk have there been over the years? I bet the current one runs rings round the first variant.

When the US101 is eventually flying do you think that your H-92 will compare favourably? Silly question really considering your role.

Some people should click the heels on their Red Ruby Slippers together and say "There is no place like home, There is no place like home, There is no place like home"
