Street rumors at the time indicated that the Sikorsky H-92 was a clear front runner if not the competition winner.[/QUOT
Still is in my and many others opinion... The S-92 fleet has now logged over 40000 hrs with(let's face it)only minor birth problems,
though few ppruners think else
EH-101 is just too big...and what will three engines give you over two??
more maintenance? more fuel consump? more complex gerabox? don't know
I put S-92 first but EC-225 very close behind... but like you said this will be political decision so we could end up with MI-17
