Flight Safety, cheers for that.

The 101 uses a T700-GE-T6A in the Civil, Italian and Canadian variants, which is also FADEC equiped, though with a HMU backup. Though the 101 needs three of them. I imagine the new CT7-8 is a better all round than the T700-T6A then?

I seem to recall that CT7 and T700 are essentialy the same thing, but can't really remember. Any one care to enlighten me, engines aint my strong point?

Any one know of any direct comparisom of the three players (EH101/NH90/S92) mentioned here? (not head to head flying wise or anything, just the same info in the same place). I have experience of the EH101, and have been around (but not on) the NH90, and there hasn't been much chance to get too close to an S 92 yet.

I'm interested as there will be an Aussie troop lift helo requirement, which I may/may not end up closely interested in.
