Remarks on another thread (
http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthr...hreadid=156159) prompt me to ask if it is true that Sikorsky is trying to squeeze more power out of the "tired old" engines on the S92.
Nick, is there a performance problem with the engine used on the current aircraft and is this causing the delay on offshore aircraft being delivered in Europe, or is that another problem? Will the rumoured performance increase include blade shedding and dual channel FADEC (with additional back-up), to bring the engine in line with the latest safety standards provided on a competing aircraft?
An update would be most appreciated.
