Well the best helicopter by far won - Congrats all round to Lockheed, AgustaWestland, Bell etc

Just maybe the Navy evaluation taken team weren't taken in by the Sikorsky claims that the S-92 is "the world's safest helicopter", "carries more and goes farther", " whole generation ahead" etc.

Sounds to me like the greater payload and larger cabin of the US101 were significant factors in its favour.
