Nope. This is not the H92... it has three engines and one of them has an "auxiliary gear box" in between.

This EH101 has "full survivability with the loss of one engine" and was the only helicopter to fulfill the initial requirements before the... .... hummm... ... "baptism"...

In fact the EH101 fly "twin" in a number of situations as "normal" operations. In case of need the number 3 can be put on line in seconds.
