Bizarre. The USAF uses none of the competitors, but the VH-71 is going to the USMC and of course the army uses the-47. So where the heck does the "no new airframes in the supply chain" argument actually have any traction? In fact, you'd think that a chance to affray development costs for the -71 and increase the experience base with that aircraft would have tilted the table in that direction, if logistics were really a concern.
