It is wonderful for the S-61.

Incredible performance increase throughout the envelope. Frank Carson and his team did a tremendous job of taking a fantastic concept blade and seeing the entire process through to delivery.

The pictures are of the first delivery of these blades to any customer outside Carson's own fleet. All we can say is WOW - bet you wish you had them too! After we took delivery we cruised back out to work, including a bit of experimentation up to 11,500 feet just to see how she does.

Absolutely fabulous!
