The VH-92 was exactly like the S-92, with changes that included the -8C engines (21% more power), 28,400 lb gross weight (the alternate gross weight for the S-92) and the needed equipment as specified by the RFP.

Having been briefed by the USG, I am not at liberty to discuss their findings.

I can say that the H-92 beats the EH-101 decisively in all performance catagories, either with the current engines or the larger engines for each. More payload, more range, more speed and more climb rate.

The two head-of-state salesmen for the EH-101 are quite capable folks, even as part-timers.
