heedm,
Thanks, heedm, that is a pretty good number. One must believe that Macy's knows what Gimble's is selling! I really want to raise a bit of consciousness about the facts.
Actually, I will post this weekend a full description of the two froma weights and performance aspect. The brochure empty weight of the EH-101 for stripped utility configuration is 19,644 lbs. which gives it a useful load (max payload) of about 12,000 lbs, or 5500 KG. his coincides with its ability to hover OGE at 3600 feet std day, according to the brochure.
I had hoped some intrepid airman would post the weight of his airplane, but I guess info around here is a one way street!
The H-92 weighs 15,079 stripped utility (dual autopilot, full nav and displays, etc) and hoge at 3600 ft std is 28,400 lbs, yielding a max payload of about 12,900lbs.
For all purposes at short range the aircraft are almost equal, with a small advantage to the H-92. At longer range, the H-92 gains, because it burns much less gas per mile. At 300 NM, the 92 carries a total of 1500 pounds more payload. All the hype about the "more capable" aircraft is known by the evaluation board to be hogwash, just as the rumors about equal price were also planted falsehoods.
