American products have got behind the times and when the catching up is achieved the products will be acceptable.
Just take the Bell 430 as an example. Lovely looking ship with good cockpit and cabin. Systems are old technology. Good engines and rotor head. Tail rotor is vunerable to damage as it sits close to the ground. The ship is heavy and has small fuel tanks. Therefore is suffers from poor payload. It's noisy. Then compare it to the EC155. Modern technology. The commonality of the VEMD, great idea.
